Anyone turned the heating on yet?

[North Cardiff Blue]

Nippy last night and this morning, I was tempted to whack it on for half an hour to take the edge off, even though mine hasn't gone up i'm determind this year to go as long as possible without it.

Has anyone put there heating on yet?

If not add to the thread when you evenually do, lets see who's first and last!

I put it on to test my new radiators and that was it. Doesn’t really count as I’m fine with my dressing gown and socks for now.

I’ll definitely be using layers more this year, and going into the office to use their heating haha

I put it on a couple of mornings ago, just for an hour to check the boiler was ok and the rads didn't need bleeding.
Off now though.

He’s concerned our energy bills will mean less fans which will mean less money for the club, which will mean a shit manager, and fewer light displays before the games.

It's remarkable how quickly the weather can change in just a few weeks. 25+ degrees just a few weeks ago and now talk of the heating going on. Don't think we've ever put the heating on in September before but today I'm very tempted to.

Yes.To take the chill off.Change of habits though.Use the dishwasher on quick rinse only.They reckon a modern dishwasher only uses a bowl of water.Whether that's true I'm not sure.haven’t used the boiler for hot water all summer.I boil half a kettle of water to shave.
Just had the bill for one month £75 .That's for electric only, gas usage will be on the next months bill.We live in a cold end of terrace
so expecting winter bills to be extremely high.

No chance .
Oil central heating here, can see the refinery from where I live. Tempted to tap in a pipeline from there.

Just lit the log burner for the first time. I've a decent stash of wood so trying to avoid using the gas central heating.

Same here GL
Best thing we’ve ever bought was the log burner
Apart from the heat it throws out there’s definitely something soothing in watching naked flames 🔥 🔥🔥

No.
Absolute ban until November.
However, being the kind husband I am ,I have conceded that the winter duvet can be used.

Not yet, but definitely feeling colder now.
I've got gaps under a pvc windowsill in one of my rooms that are causing a draught, anybody got any tips on filling it?
The gaps are quite big so I'm not sure a sealant gun will work, could I plug it with putty?
