House was like a bloody sauna when I got home. Turned my radiator down though and my room was comfortable.

would be toasty but all the radiators need a good bleeding

No, my wife's not.

Our place is incredibly well insulatef so the battle won't commence for a couple of weeks yet.

my flat's ceilings are really high and it's really draughty so it doesn't make a massive amount of difference anyway. I've discovered that sitting under blankets is a much more effective way of staying warm...

I usually try to hold out til the clocks go back, but I could see my breath in my sitting room last night so had to give it a quick blast.

Stupid lovely bay windows :(

No real logic behind that though. Luckily my flat's pretty well insulated so I don't need it much anyway.

at my mums house: OF COURSE. its the coldest house in the world. none of the rooms have curtains, and the front door is constantly wide open.

I came home to find it sweltering, so I turned it off and left a note on the boiler to keep the heating off until it’s actually cold.

I came home the next day to find two of them sat in the lounge in their coats, hats and scarves, while I’d been walking around outside in a t-shirt.

I wore a suit jacket to work for the first time yesterday. I’ll admit that it was a bit too chilly for just a shirt.

it would've been called ''Central Heating Warriors''.

You could learn a thing or two from him you know. Actually, you couldn't.

it baffles me that some people actually have to consult the calendar before making these decisions

my heating's not on yet as it's not been cold enough indoors, have had 'the big coat' on the last few days though

And I was thinking about it yesterday.

I haven't yet, which surprises me because I did it really early last year. In fact, I still have my bedroom window wide open. I have been wearing a bit more around the flat though. I can hold out a while yet I think.

so we will have to very soon, and watch the lovely warmth drift away through the massive gaps in the sash windows. tits.

I reckon I can get away with it for another month. The first proper frost is the sign I usually go by.

A couple of my housemates were moaning it was cold in the mornings, but only because they spend so long faffing around. Pricks.

ITS TOO HOT. My radiator is off.

Heating doesn't go on until November and neither does opaque hosiery. I have broken both of these this week. #fuckmeit'scold

Flat: new and well insulated, with flats above, below and to the sides.
Doors: closed.
Jumper: being worn.
Comfort level: toasty.
T minus thermostat use: ~a fortnight?

Is it even cold down south? I slept on my friends floor without a blanket, with the heating off, with the window open only on Monday in London.

Basically you're all silly.

I can't wait till November. I'm going back to Scotland for a week and my family can actually afford centreal heating. My room in Manchester is ground floor, non-carpeted, massive window, fairly high-ceilinged and drafty. I can see my breat.

We've got tiled floors and it's fricking FREEZING walking around.

Think its a bit early and house isn't cold enough yet, but don't really mind. Saying that today is the first time I've managed to get out of bed without laying in for an extra 20 min hiding from the cold.

I've gone up from DEFCON 4 (lounge around with the windows open) to DEFCON 3 (windows shut, pop a hoody on in the evening).

DEFCON 2 will trigger heating, hopefully won't get to DEFCON 1 (take a book into the airing cupboard) this year.
