Sitting here thinking about how cold it is, and wondering how many people have turned on their central heating.... two of the old ladies I care for have had it turned on for a couple of days due to the weather, and one of my other ladies has knitted me some bedsocks because I don't have central heating, and my house is cold!
I have got my halogen heater on one bar right now, but if it gets any chillier will be going higher.... my cats are loving it too!
Have you given in yet? or is it warmer where you are... this time last week my thermometer was registering 25 in my bathroom.. its currently on 17... brrrr!
I would have mine on if it was working!
Had all new pipes fitted and the bugger still not working, I'm freezing!
:shock: What's central heating? :shock:
"Chuck a couple of extra covers on the bed and put on a jumper" is the onlycentral heating I know of ;)

when I were a likkle lad up norf, we didn't have central heating and I used to scrape the ice of the inside of the bedroom windows in the morning!
Now in France, we don't have central heating either but a bloody great cast iron wood burner and 4 stere of oak to see us through the first part of winter..
There's nothing like the smell of oak burning; the smoke from the chimney drifting down the lane is divine!
And before anyone starts on the "green" issues.. wood for burning in France is from renewable sources and is the cheapest form of heating here!
:thumbup:
I lived near Sheffield near t'pits... and we were lucky as my grandad worked down them so we were ok for coal...
Down here, I haven't had central heating for about five years, and i'm used to it - to be honest my health is better! When I go into a place with central heating I find it quite oppressive.
(good excuse to take a human hot water bottle to bed too wink )

Same here, good init lol
I've had the heating on a little a couple of nights...
it's been quite nice really... one thing about autumn/winter setting in is that you appreciate being warm. I love being cosy smile
I have my heating on for an hour in the morning and an hour at night, more for my boys benefit than my own.
If I'm cold I'll just put a jumper on!

Ya mean... yer didn't have windows then?? :shock: :shock:
just one radiator on in the bathroom as my son went out with no coat on yesterday (against my advice and got soaked) so I have had to do a load of washing and try and dry his shoes out.
Otherwise... no heating!

We're resisting at the moment,only cos I'm a tight sod and won't put the heating on until absolutley necessary.
xxxxxxx
it went on yesterday- full blast thermostat up to 25 and the fire on!!!! Then woke up this morning wondering why we were sweating for no reason!!! lol it's back off and den told me to put a jumper on- grrr
15 degrees here at the moment, and I'm just in a towel (no change there then) The heating almost certainly wont be on til October.
I do have the coldest feet known to mankind though- my circulation is lousy. confused

Ours has been on full for the last couple of nights and we have the winter duvet on the bed the summer one was only out for a month shocking how cold it is already.
We've had the wood fire on a couple of night but more cause I love curling up in front of the fire. Central heating been on two days last week cause we were all full of the cold. But been totally off since mid May cause we had a lovely summer. No doubt the heating costs will be through the roof this winter but then that is what we get for choosing to live in -30 climate like Canada.
Woke up shivering this morning... came downstairs and put my halogen heater on three bars.. and when I get back from London tonight I'm giving in and putting the underblanket on my bed... brrrrrr!
Where did this summer go... or did it come at all?????
The summer's gone...

Always happy to go 'Hurrrr' down any lady's chest.
I have no central heating in my place. I like to snuggle up under duvets and blankets in the winter. Here is my bedroom window from last February :

No heating, it is still warm. In fact I am still a bit hot at night, had to discard the top cover last night.
