Blackrocksrock Posted November 12, 2009 Share Posted November 12, 2009 We sleep with the window open unless its really howling snow and blizzard so usually with the open window we get ice inside it - cannot sleep in a warm room and the rad is never on in the bedroom at all - we have a wool new zealand duvet and its really warm and I am always really cosy when we wake up in bed never cold although the room is cold.

Old Speckled Hen Posted November 13, 2009 Share Posted November 13, 2009 They are absolutely wonderful those wool duvets. We have one that comes in two snap together duvets so you have three combinations. We have both on now We also sleep with the window open but I do like it toasty warm downstairs.

Reikiranf Posted November 13, 2009 Share Posted November 13, 2009 I'll have to drop out of this thread now as DH confessed this morning that he'd put the heating on very low on Tuesday night So he got a lecture on how much fuel & money he was wasting as the radiators were on so low no one had even noticed they were on, I also told him that I may have to start looking for my second husband as I can never trust him again So well done to those of you still holding out I'd be there with you were it not for my naughty DH.

abwsco Posted November 13, 2009 Share Posted November 13, 2009 Can I join back in as we didn't have heating on yesterday apart from the bathroom one for the towels or does it not work like that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley Posted November 13, 2009 Share Posted November 13, 2009 Hmmmmm - I don't think it works like that We have had the heating on a couple of times just to keep the floors slightly warm as it takes too long to heat up if we get a suddne cold snap. We've had a problem with the underfloor heating ever since we moved in but it has suddenly become worse. We have a suspected - well, definite now, leak on the heating and the pressure keeps dropping causing the boiler to cut out. We don't want to spend a fortune on it because we want to change to a multi fuel boiler. We are going through the process of having each part of the heating tested to see where the leak is and then that zone will be turned off for the winter - I'm really hoping it is the bedroom and not the lounge/hall. Because the whole system hasn't been zoned and labelled the bedroom becomes far too hot I bet it will be the lounge though - not too bad as we have the woodburner.

chickencam Posted November 13, 2009 Share Posted November 13, 2009 We always have a small window open in our bedroom, I hate sleeping without a fresh air supply. I prefer a cold bedroom and warm downstairs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MedusA Posted November 13, 2009 Share Posted November 13, 2009 We've succumbed to putting the heating on for an hour in the morning. In the evening we light the woodburner and we snuggle in the front room until it gets too hot and then we allow some of the heat to permeate the rest of the house by having the door open a bit. I always sleep with the window open a bit too. Can't stand stale air in the bedroom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlottechicken Posted November 13, 2009 Share Posted November 13, 2009 I shouldn't even be on this thread then, my heating has been on since September 1st I have no other heating in the house, and last year things were going mouldy in cupboards because of the damp, so I decided to just have the heating on low, to keep everything dry. I know from experience that my house will get to below freezing if there is no heating on (went away one Christmas and on return found house was colder in than temperature outside). When I say the heating is on though, we are talking 14 degrees in the bedroom, 16 degrees in the front room (where I am now), 18 in the bathroom and living room and the only other room with heat is the kitchen, and that depends if the oven is being used or not Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goosey Lucy Posted November 30, 2009 Share Posted November 30, 2009 I'm the same as Charlottechicken, as we're living in a barn with little or no insulation we've been advised to have the heat on low. It now goes on at 6am and off at 10pm. It keeps it warm enough to be inside but not so warm that we're in t-shirts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abwsco Posted November 30, 2009 Share Posted November 30, 2009 Well, I know I'm officially not allowed on here but I only put some radiators back on yesteday and they're on again today when I got in from work at 3pm. So for me that means we've only just put the heating on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Speckled Hen Posted November 30, 2009 Share Posted November 30, 2009 I've just put the heater on in the greenhouse Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrr -4 expected overnight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickenNutter Posted December 1, 2009 Share Posted December 1, 2009 Had cavity wall insulation put in today (actually that's yesterday now ) and topped up loft insulation last month. It is now the middle of the night with no heating on and it is noticeably lovely and warm. I'm impressed! Put the greenhouse heater on low in the outhouse for the guinea pigs though.
