wtf you mean you used your heating today

It's like some people have never heard of jumpers or the awesome heating power of the XSX.

Still far too warm for the heating to come on. Aside from the odd day it's till largely t-shirt temperatures for me.

Still no update for the wall of warm, tut tut.

I can't believe I am still in this game. My wife has been moaning about it being cold (it really isn't!) for a while now, but she's not yet put the heating on.

I’m out. It wasn’t my choice, but I didn’t have the energy to try and convince my wife not to put the heating on to try and win an Internet forum battle.

A dark day…. warm though.

Yeah, I came in with some big talk but I'm out too.

I stepped in a puddle, which made my feet wet and cold. Also, I noticed my towels weren't dry after a day on a cold towel rail.

Man it's nice having a warm hand as I grip the radiator!

Still going strong over here!

The towels being permanently damp in the bathroom was the biggest problem for me also.

Added to the wall of shame. :oops:

I can't believe I caved that one day. I haven't needed the heating since.

I'm also out - happy to have gotten this far.

Could have probably lasted longer but I wanted to see how good the heating is in this newish flat. Have to be prepared for when I truly need it

I'm technically not out as the heating for my building is broken today. Hooray!

Now that's an optimistic perspective.

What is it with the weird obsession the British have with not turning the heating on?

Where I work in the office, there seems to be a weird competition every year on who can keep their heating off for longest

I was talking to a Ukranian about this the other day and I couldn't explain why. Other than that we're a bunch of tight bastards.

I'm out.
The heating went on yesterday.

Anyone still in is a liar!

(Or must provide a seriously good explanation!)

The only way I’d still be in it after yesterday and today is it I lived on my own and worked from home so could basically just wrap myself in numerous blankets and the like :lol:

I rule my household with an iron fist and I don't really feel the cold.

.....actually I'm now out. The wife put a heater on earlier.

She will be suitably punished.

I don't really feel the cold too much. I'll admit it's been colder these past few days but I didn't particularly feel cold enough to put the heating on, I just put a thick hoodie on and started wearing socks around the house. If I was living with someone or had visitors that felt the cold more than me I'd have put the heating on for them. If anything is going to get me out it will probably be having guests to the house

I'm out. Of all the things to knock me out it's the side effects from my booster jab. Feel cold and shivery and extra layers just aren't cutting it.
