    My house themonitor reads 20°C at the moment. I haven't used my heating yet, the last time being March. Then again, I'm one of those stubborn tight arses who refuse point blank to switch to CLF/energysaving bulbs coz they look shite. I'd rather have 3 x 100W mini-heaters and make my place look nicer. Plus, I'm probably using less energy than the eco-warriors are anyway coz I'm not using my heating :-)

    I had the climate control in my car so cold, I could see my breath. During the day, two months ago...

    I'm tight, not had the heating on yet since about April and trying to keep it off for as long as possible!

    I don't really think it's that cold yet, although I've got a chill blane on one of my toes, always get them around this time of year :(

    When you have the log fire on, drinking a hot drink and watching a film.

    ...or freezing my socks off when i go in my room because the heater doesn't work properly

    This is why I love living in rented places with bills included in a set amount of rent. I love heating.

    when you start shivering in a car with its engine off :p

    We had the heating on tonight, woohoo... I do feel like a cheat though. In Leeds we used to last until January without it.
  • Former MemberFormer Member Posts: 1,876,323 The Mix Honorary Guru
    We've already had the heating on here for about a week or so, a couple of hours in the morning and a bit longer in the evening. Fuck money, I'm not gonna be cold and uncomfortable for the sake of a bit of extra money
  • Former MemberFormer Member Posts: 1,876,323 The Mix Honorary Guru
    Finally the heating has been fixed!
  • Former MemberFormer Member Posts: 1,876,323 The Mix Honorary Guru
    You sit in your room with pjs and a dressing gown on and are still freezing. :(
  • Former MemberFormer Member Posts: 1,876,323 The Mix Honorary Guru
    When you can leave alcohol in the back garden instead of in the fridge, to keep it cold.

    A couple of housemates have got a cough at the minute, think its spreading.

    My room at the moment is like a lil warm haven, I went out into the kitchen (as my room is of the back of it) and it was like i was hit in the face with a freezing cold fan :(
