Has anyone switched their heating on yet? Our heating has been off since mid May and I was hoping to keep it off till the end of September. But I think we will be switching it on before the end of this week because of the cool weather.

Ours is knackered (f*#@ing Matty H and his Gloworm recommendation)

Reporting from way down south... it's 11.20pm and still 16C outside. We've still got the summer duvet on the bed, hopefully the heating switch on is some time away yet!

I switched mine on last week in one half of the house 

Nope not yet, in fact at almost midnight we still have the bedroom windows open a touch.

Hoping to get to Halloween before the need too 

Not a chance! Still wearing shorts and t-shirt.

Been on a few mornings on rising .Soon goes of at required setting. 

We keep our underfloor heating on all year with the thermostats set to about 21C. It has switched on once I think.

Our underfloor heating won’t get switched on for a while yet, but our central heating never gets switched off as I just rely on the thermostat and it hasn’t kicked in yet but it’s still quite mild here. I never close my bedroom window, even in winter and I never have the bedroom radiators on either.  The radiators in the upstairs bathrooms are always the first to get turned on though. 

I've switched my central heating on a handful of times this month. I also put a throw over my summer duvet for a couple of nights because my legs and feet felt cold in bed.

I haven't worn shorts or short-sleeve shirts since the very start of the month, and I'm getting the impression that I won't be wearing them again until sometime next year.

The warmest room in our house is the bathroom because we never switch the towel rail off.

No need for central heating yet but watching the cooler forecast for the next couple of days. Sloar hot water heating having to be supplemented as it's been cloudy from time to time.

 Yes , Amazing. I walked my Grand daughter to the school bus stop yesterday in a t shirt. Got there and people were standing there waiting  in jumpers and waistcoats. It was a muggy 17 C.  I think they were just showing off their Autumn collection.

Needed if elderly and have a disability.....

'Tested' the wood burning stove a few evenings ago - we had two cold nights and a couple of days together with the temp. not getting much above 13 C - October weather! Only have had the wood burner lit for a few hours in the evening once so far this season. I'm 'knocking on' in years too and do feel the chill more these days! No need for heating today, as the sun heating the south-facing living rm up to a pleasant 20 C atm. - the sun still high enough to be above the trees here    

I bet you also have decking and shop at Waitrose

On topic, I have been trying to avoid it, but today is feeling very cold

Funny, because today is feeling warmer than the past few days here - much closer to a typical September day, max of 18C with sunny spells. No need for any kind of heating today. 

Wife dictates when heating comes on

I`m still hoping to reach the end of this month without any heating though (apart from the bathroom towel rail).
