21.0c at the moment. Sunny outside.

---

Feeling cold and damp outside with a strong wind off the sea. Currently 16.6°C inside so no heating on.

---

I’ve definitely noticed the house cools a lot more on rainy and/or windy days, even if it’s relatively mild outside. 
Whereas today has been much cooler, but sunny and calm so the house has stayed ok without the need for heating. 

So I’m actually hoping for a cold but calm winter vs a wet and windy one.

---

I would settle for that too. 

The cold wind today has definitely cooled the house down.

---

21.5c Not bad given time. 23:30

---

Cold winters day today , had the heating on twice so far, once this morning and once at lunchtime to get back up to 18c each time.
Cost £2.80 so far today.

---

That for Gas alone?  I put on twice yesterday and reached £2.75.  Today inside 16-17C as I did not put it on this morning but opened all the windows to get rid of humidity and mist on glass, all dry very quickly in few minutes.   Will put on at 5pm and no heating tomorrow as we going away to Kent for Bluewater shopping and stay over night in a hotel.

Yep including standing charge, but not really any hot water as nobody has been in the shower so far. 

Down to 16c again now, so will need another blast and another £1.25 or so spent.

Used to be up to £2 per day on heating all day from 7am to 9pm last 2 years.  If was all day I am sure it will be well over £10 due to illegal big rises when really other countries get less and get more gas from Russia than here.

5¼ hours of heating yesterday, just to maintain 16.5C (aside from the time I was out of the house, when it fell to 15).

That'll have been expensive, but worth it to keep the mould at bay!

As alluded to earlier in the thread, wet and windy days cost far more than cold, sunny and calm days.

Currently 12.4°C inside (as I accidentally switched the app to “protect” mode overnight). Unsurprisingly the heat is on now.

---

We are getting used to a more insulated home having had a new front door and cavity wall insulation fitted recently. We also had the hot water cylinder, thermostats and valves replaced and a boiler service carried out.

It is very noticeable that the indoor temperature does not fluctuate as much as it used to and is stable throughout the day. Our heating runs for a couple of hours in the morning and the same in the evening and that seems to be sufficient to keep the house comfortable inside. It is noticeable that the boiler runs much less than it used to when the heating is on.

I will be very interested to see what our gas usage is over the winter compared to last year.

21.6. Sun shines through the window.

---

Only 22.0c This afternoon. Sun comes and goes with the clouds

Heating on low. Salad for dinner so no heat used there.

---

Heavy duty rugs hung as draught excluders to a rather open plan living room having the desired effect; 21C with the aid of some sunshine in the living room, 17.5 C in the kitchen just across a small landing 

---

Sun shines through the lounge widow.

Hallway and bedroom 21c. 

4.5c Inside Brick shed with no heating on.

Late November update.

Thermostat set to 18c between 6am and 7pm, dropped back to 14c overnight.

At 6am the temperature sits around 16.5c to 16.7c most mornings, therefore it only needs about an hour to get the house up to 18c. Thereafter the radiators remain on with a gentle warmth from them.  Usage therefore remains relatively low.

I'm finding light breezes are key to maintaining overnight warmth. One morning earlier in the week with a strong and cool NW'ly wind blowing the starting temperature was a chilly 15.7c.

---

23.0c. Heating is not on.

---

25.6 C at 1400; no heating on after 0830 at which time 19 C. Just shows what solar heating can do!

---

21C.  Indoors with heating set to 21c.

---

Today was a cold winter's day, High 3c, Low -1c . We were in all day.  Happy that spent £5.65 on gas, that gives confidence that it won't be ridiculous amounts most of the winter unless of course we get another Dec 10. 

---

20.7C in the lounge facing S and getting all the sunshine; 17.5 in the N-facing kitchen. Currently spending about £2.50 on gas per day, £1.30 on electricity including standing charge.

---

It is 19C in the living room and 19.5C in the hallway.  I live in a cold maisonette flat and even with double glazing and the heating it does not get warm.

---

The office at the bottom of the garden currently an uncomfortably finger numbing 7C. I’ve lent the electric heater to a neighbour whose boiler packed up two days ago.
The house that faces south is pleasant enough at 15.5C. The low level sun at this time of the provides some warmth in the living room. The back garden receives no sun at this time of the year and the thermometer tells me it’s 1C. A proper full on, bird bath freezing all night frost I think coming up in a few hours.

I'm new to this thread, but with the cold weather and obvious focus on energy use, have been trying to watch our indoor temperature.

The thermostat in previous years has generally been set at 21-22c (sometimes my missus - though she denies responsibility - has turned up up to 25c, then soon after compained it's too hot). This year it's at 20c (we tried 18c first, but that felt too chilly).

Heating traditionally in use October'ish to April'ish (weather-dependent) and set to be on a couple hours in the morning and, depending on time of year and weather, between 2 and 7 hours late afternoon/evening.

Was working from home yesterday and by lunchtime (heating had gone off around 7.30am), the temp where I work was down to 15c and I was cold. Had to put the heating back on. 

I've read about the overnight temp in some people's houses falling to 11/12c so checked mine last night when I woke at just after 5am for a wee. Was 15.4c. So my insulation seems to be working alright.

I'm keeping the heating on today (again W'ingFH). i think keeping the heating on all day (periodically firing up for a brief time) won't be that much more expensive than having it off for 7/8 hours then having to work hard and for a prolonged time to heat the house from cooler. But I might turn the thermostat down to 18c.
