Has anyone put their central heating on yet?

Only boil kettle once a day. Fill a flask with that hot water to last the day. Don't wash pots every day. I live alone so only do them when I run out of cutlery and plates. Don't shower every day (nobody has complained I smell) As a kid we had a bath on a Sunday night. Every other day was a strip wash. Only wash clothes when I run out of clean socks and un derwear.

That sounds worse than prison...
 
Our heating kicked in for the grand total of 20 mins the other night ( temp went under 16'c which is where we have it set to come on ). Cost us over £5!.

We currently have blankets and Hot water bottles in the evening when it gets chilly.

Shit that is a lot for twenty mins !
 
My flat is great with floor to ceiling windows and panoramic views but WOW, is this leccy bill gonna be big this winter!

The (electric) heaters are wifi controlled and on the app I can see how much energy they use. The biggest radiator is in my living room and uses 1.5kwh each morning initially just to get to 20 degrees for half an hour or so. There are 4 other electric heaters in the flat...

Ours did that a while back. Thermostat now down to 10. Don’t want the heating on overnight!
 
It’s getting very cold up North, but we’re yet putting heating on.
Also started using a flask to fill up hot water from kettle to save boiling kettle so many times a day
 
Started the day on four degrees , when i was really fat i didnt feel the cold as much , i still have some fat on me but a lot less and i defo feel the cold now, rocking the warm jammies and under a throw , how has it come to this !
 
Had to have it on for a couple of hours this morning to dry some clothes. In the week some of them didnt dry and got that slightly manky smell to them. Dried now and its back off. Will fire up the wood burner tonight if I dont go out for a pint
