Heating is definately required now.
I have been down south for the last week where it has been pleasant and warm in the most part. The exception was Wednesday in Portsmouth where it was grey and very windy, but once i left in the afternoon and arrived in Essex it was much more pleasant.
A shock to the system arriving back here last night and the heating went straight on.

An hour's burst this morning on manual for the first time this season, it was down to 15c in the house with 6c outside. I could happily resist, but pressure from family members prevailed. Gave me a chance to check the system and those deadly radiators anyway.

Max 13C today, 14C tomorrow and no sun to warm the house through until Monday. Have decided to be a softy southerner.

No central heating on yet, but the fire has been lit for the first time since last winter, just to take the chill off.

The Hive is set at 18C day in day out. It's clicked on twice in the last two days.

 

Heating was never turned off in the first place. A wonderful creation.

Switched on the living-room storage heater last night before going to bed. First time I've ever had to do that in September. Will leave it on tonight, but should be switching it off again after that, with sunshine and high teens forecast for here next week/

Not yet here, still 20.2c indoors, so no need, don’t think it’s been on since early April! Reckon/hope it might be best part of 6 months before it goes back on....

Loving the weather whatever it brings, snow, rain, wind, sun, heat, all great!

I actually gave in this evening. The living room and my bedroom were down to 19.6C so the heating's gone on for a short while. Whether it stays on will depend on how much sunshine there is next week.

Nope, heating will stay off until at least November.

Down to 19*C in living room, so windows shut and sweatshirt on.  10*C outside, so I expect it to get colder and that I will have to succumb soon.

Just turned my famed west-facing hobby room electric heater on just to take the chill off indoors as outdoors temperatures have fallen down to 10.6 C at 1.30 pm. Main heating isn't on yet, though, as it's still 22 C in the hallway.

And yet it was 19 C at midnight the other night just before the squally weather turned up.

It is still around 15°C or so inside here so the heat is not on just yet. Given a few more cool, wet and windy days that may change soon.

Our radiators were on when I got up this morning and it felt lovely too!  

I gave in to the underfloor heating in the utility and cloakroom too, when I found myself choosing a warm upstairs loo instead of the cloakroom!  Slate tiles are lovely and cool in summer but a shock to the feet in cold weather.

First time switching the heating on since April for couple of hours on saturday. Only got to 12c that day.

I remember living in my one bed flat and couldn’t afford to run the GCH for too long. I would ration an hour of warmth in the evening but still try to sleep with my bedside digital thermometer reading 11 degrees or less.

Dark times.

My nephew wouldn't believe that there regularly used to be ice on the inside of the windows when I got up in the morning in the 40s/50s

Having said that I don’t like a very warm house. Anything over 21°C I find is unpleasant. Thankfully in a granite house that is not that common. Below about 14 or 15°C I would/will probably switch the heating on.
