    Well because my dad's 86 years old we have had our heating on for a while now but it's only in the lounge and his bedroom for me it is very rare that I ever have the heat on in my bedroom.

    We have our central heating on "1" in the evenings. Sometimes "2" if we feel like it.

    Well... living in the wonder that is Halls of Residence...
    I don't get a choice on the matter of the heating.
    And it would appear the stick it on whenever they feel like,
    but generally not when its actually needed!!

    have to say one reason i never have the heating on in my bedroom after 6pm is because I hate going to bed in a hot room so I will if it's on all ways turn it off so the room has a good chance to get cold..

    The heatings been on in my house for the last two months. It gets a bit too warm for me, but Aidan is still only little. I have to have the bedroom window open though. Like Larry, I can't sleep if it's too warm in the bedroom.

    That's the opposite to me, i put mine on half hour before i go to bed to warm the bedroom up slightly. I don't like it too hot though. Just enough to stop my nose getting cold when the rest of me is covered up.

    Is it really the last week of November now? I only had to have the heating on for a short time this morning to take the chill off the place, and I don't anticipate needing it on for the rest of the day. The outside temperature is more like late September/early October! It's one reason why it seems impossible that Christmas is exactly one month away!

    I know the weather for this time of year is just crazy - I was watching the Rememberance Day, service the other week and all the trees in Whitehall were still green and in full bloom with the sun shinning. I couldn't help thinking it seemed more loke a day in sumer than November. I can remember the winters back in the late 1970's when every thing at this time of year was a lot colder and darker. But now it's all so different and the weather at christmas is just so mild and so unchristmassy..

    We never get Christmassy weather at Christmas! Although this morning was more like it. Storms, rain and thunder, we had to have the lights on because it was too dark outside as well! I'm quite happy with the weather at the moment. I've got a nice warm jacket.
    Pity. I have no understanding of the word. It is not registered in my vocabulary bank. EXTERMINATE!

    bet you were glad you did not have to catch the train today - but would it not just be nice to have a savere winter with 3 foot of snow for a change..

    The problem with living in an east-west valley this time of year is that it never gets properly light and in the middle of December we lose the sun at about 2.30.

    it's reasonably similar in my halls, although they've managed to get it reasonably right!

    though I still don't like the lack of control over it

    I'm probably a bit like the people in your office to my housemates

    But I do get so very cold

    I use my little electric heater where I can
