When are you switching your heating on?

[hallilujah]

Its been wet, rainy, grey in London but not cold for the time of year, although I don't really get cold unless its minus temps

Mine is on but it's making me feel a bit SINUSY. Anyone else experience this?

Yes central heating is bad for your sinuses. But it's good for damp. All about finding a balance. My recommendation is to blast it for 20 minutes in the morning and when you first get home to keep the chill out, but invest in thermal PJs or a snoodie to keep you warm of an evening.

Ours has been on and off for the last month, but only when necessary.

It's not quite TIMER TIME yet.

Still not been on yet. I’ve resorted to the Dyson heater a couple of times though.

Was it not the same last year? I’m sure it wasn’t until mid December a lot of you never had to put the heating on until.

I don't really put it on much at all. We live in a top floor apartment, which helps matters.

Yes. And it is in these last couple of years am noticing people refer to the days following sumner as August 32, 33, 34 and so on. It's as if there's no autumn, mosquitos are still fully active, and i remember the bears last year didn't go to sleep until mid January.

Oooh you just reminded me... I bought a snoodie last winter and it may well be the time to start wearing it again!

It is SO COLD in Scotland. Is it the same down south? I’ve never had the heating OFF since I got here yesterday.

It's bloody freezing in the rest of the house, although we're keeping the front room nice and warm.

 

[Jingle Bell Reet]

Apparently SNOW expected here towards the end of this week. ️

We still don't have central heating, year 5 now without I think. But our two little oil filled radiators are amazing, and I bought a long hot water bottle to take to bed so currently I don't need the electric blanket!

I don’t know if this is a daft question but here goes. Is the Isle of Wight generally warmer than the rest of the UK?

I think so yes, it's apparently 10 degrees here at the moment, not sure what it is in the rest of the UK.

We also tend to get it a degree or so cooler in the really hot weather because of the sea breeze.

Apparently 3 degrees here.

It's bloody cold today. I've inched the radiators up and put Christmas songs on.
