Has anyone put their central heating on yet?

This weather is making me consider move to Spain asap. I got my Irish passport recently so don’t have to jump hoops the same!! It’s fecking freezing.
yeah exactly what I've been considering....fuck freezing Ashton. I can get an Irish passport too.

Did it cost you much?
 
Right a question for all you experts, where do you put your room thermostat. I have TRVs on every radiator apart from the he hallway, I’ve put the room stat in the hallway however that room will never get to temperature, looking online it says put in the coldest room (hallway) and don’t have a trv on that radiator as it will compete with the room stat.
However, if I do this, the boiler will basically be on all the time as it tries to get the hallway to temperature on the room stat. If I put it in the living room, it will easily get to to temperature and switch off, cool down then switch on as it should. The living room radiator has a TRV on it. What is the right way? The experts say coldest room no TRV but then the boiler doesn’t go off at all, living room TRV will get to temp, fucked if I know!
We are both at home all day and it actually costs £1 more to heat the house all day than a couple of hours in the morning and a couple of hours at night, as once it reaches temp (stat in living room) it just tops up.
Set hall stat to 18c mate the rad in your hallway will be the bypass rad so can’t have a trv, living room should be about 21c when room stat turns boiler off
 
About 400 quid all in all. Took about 11 months to come through
Can I ask does your immediate family get one as well, I can get one via my grandmas side (although she’s dead now) , it would make life a bit easier travelling I guess.

I qualified through my grandparents. You need to get hold of one of their birth certificates and marriage certificate. It was a lot easier than I thought it would be. I’m not sure how it works with descendants then but I imagine they’d apply through your citizenship.

So you have dual nationality now, two passports?

£400 I payed £70 or something in 2015. But I've always had one my Dad got me it when I was a kid and I'm 50 now. I'm on my 4th one. Even though I was born here and never lived in Ireland my Dad is Irish and just applied for an Irish one for me when I was about 12 as himself and my mum are Irish but have lived here since the early sixties. Never had a British passport I just renew my Irish one every 10 years.
