The last 3 days or so have been good for warming the house up again. With back door and a couple of windows open, I managed to get my north facing living room back up to 23C yesterday evening. Currently still at 22.6C. Conversely, our south facing bedroom gets a bit too warm in hot, sunny spells. It peaked yesterday around 27C but has already cooled back down to around 23.5C with ventilation.
Exactly the same yesterday to bring up to 25C hallway, 27C in living room and 26C upstairs, then shut the windows in late afternoon, then lovely warm night last night and this morning was sunny and plan to open again soon as it forecast to reach 23C and sunny but gone cloudy after 1pm for no reason and 17C already so lucky I kept it closed and still warm inside 23C and 25C upstairs.
Heating on during the daytime last couple days. 22.3c All rooms in the bungalow.
My house is empty as I have been away for 6 nights but I note the lounge smart thermostat is now a very chilly 13.9c.
I remember coming home a few years ago in midwinter after a fortnight away and it was 4°C inside! Thankfully we have Hive now and the technology allows a lot more control.
The heat has come on a few times in the last couple of days, probably due to the strong cold northerly wind outside. Currently a pleasantly warm 18.3°C inside.
Heating on. 22.5c.
It was 13 when I got in this morning, both upstairs and down - definitely cold enough to require heating! It's now 20C, which is much more pleasant.
(Two days of temperatures at or below 12C, with thick cloud, plus a strong, persistent wind, is a great way to cool down a house. From a/c - albeit briefly - to heating within the space of a week!)
Haeting on at 06:20 then 20.5c. Now 22.5c.

Is there nothing you can do to improve insulation Darren? That's a heck of a drop in house temperature.
Currently 18.3C upstairs and 18.0C downstairs in the living room. Managed to avoid putting the heating on over the weekend. Today's sunshine is starting to warm up the back of the house.
22.3c Indoors. Humidity 71% Rh.
Not really, unless I want to bump my head on the ceiling every time I go upstairs! It's around 40sqm of flat-roofed fun up there, you see.
It's 21C upstairs at the moment and 22C here in the dining room: even though it's breezy outside and only 11C, it's not cooling down as quickly as I thought it would.
The heating will be on tonight though, I suspect!
Currently 26 c in my famed west-facing hobby room, the heating came on for only half an hour this morning with the thermostat set at 22 c and hadn't clicked itself back on since. While I have had windows closed for most of the day, a couple was opened when I did the dinner in order to prevent condensation from building up indoors,
Window vents open and one small window in the bathroom. 22.5c.
Hasn't got above 20C in the house since we got back from Turkey two weeks ago. Heating set at 18C has been trundling on and off as the diurnal range has varied very little during daylight hours. Basically it's been autumn here for six weeks.
