[Misc] Have you put the heating on yet? (2024/25 edition)

[Weststander]

Log store is fully stocked up, logged and kindling chopped up. Had the fire serviced last week so we're ready to go! The sunshine will keep the house warm enough today but tonight the fire might go on.
Not using the central heating yet. Greedy energy companies can f*** off.

It’s going to be a lonnnnnngggg, cold, winter .

Does everyone else periodically bleed their radiators?

Yes, I 'bleed my radiators' when the urge takes me, whatever the outside temperature.

I’m tempted to put the heating on this evening!

Had my heating on and off last 24 hours - chilly Wiltshire hills.

It did cross my mind WFH this afternoon. But I got warm later from mowing the lawn.

October Price cap increase due to take effect next week…..might be worth a visit to MONEYSAVINGEXPERT.COM……….see below for an excerpt from the weekly email

Good timing before the rain.

Perhaps poor OAP’s can start mowing lawns .

Predicting heavy rain most of the day….they got that wrong locally.

Do you think i should hire a few OAP’S on work experience ..get them to do the wrk free of charge whilst i sit in the van.…

Don't people just leave their heating on a thermostat? Ours is on all year, but only actually turns on when it's cold (like it did in early September).

Still shorts and t shirt

I don't get very warm sitting on my tractor mower.....

( One of the better things I have bought in my life ! )

Was a rather nippy ZERO this morning, meaning toque and gloves on for the morning dog walk. Turned the heating on as soon as I got back in!

 

[DJ NOBO]

Targeting no heating til fireworks night

 

[Washboard Didgets]

Noticably chillier in the house today, resisting temptation to press the button to reactivate the heating.

 

[southstandandy]

No - it's quite pleasant here in Shoreham. Spent the afternoon in the garden in my shorts with a brew and the paper.

 

[Gwylan]

No heating but I'm going out in a while and I've put trousers on, for the first time since March

There's a good chance that the wood burner will be lit this evening.

 

[BLOCK F]

Just been sitting on Gyllyngvase Beach in Falmouth, lovely and sunny. Plenty of people swimming.
Heating hasn’t gone on yet at home, but it probably won’t be long now, or more likely the wood burner will be lit. A few more sea swims to be had when we get home. Hard nut old git!

A noticeable frost on our neighbours roof this morning, and 1.7C outside. Unsurprisingly the thermostat chose to turn the heating on for a couple of hours, but then stayed off until about 30 minutes ago.
