Almost caved last night, but my desire to win this bloody competition kept me going.

Is it just me or is damp and moisture far worse this year than previous years? I've had to have the heating on this morning with all my upstairs windows open for an hour just to clear all the rooms.

I've still not turned on my Economy 7 (overnight) heating in my living room. And it's bloody freezing :dread:

.

I'm out of the competition, though, because I have sometimes turned on my portable electric heater.

Who’s left then? I’m not ruining my life for fun.

I've finally turned on my Economy 7 heating and it will come on overnight tonight. My living room is 15c / 59f and it's just too cold to sit in.

It's just under 10 degrees in my house so it's still pretty warm for me. The only reason I'm likely to drop out any time soon is if I start having any issues with damp or if I have guests over. The former is more likely than the latter.

Ten degrees?!? I take it we're talking Celsius and not Fahrenheit, Outrunner? Although it's bad either way!

I couldn't sit there at that level of cold; maybe not even if I was wearing a big coat and a hat. That's more of an outdoors temperature than indoors :shock:

Yeah, Celsius. I don't find 10 degrees to be particularly cold. At 15c I'd be in a t-shirt and probably opening a window too. That's a pretty pleasant temperature for me, definitely not a temperature I'd associate with winter or ever contemplate turning the heating on for. At 10c I've put on a light hoodie and closed the window. If it weren't for the occasional issue I sometimes have with damp I wouldn't put the heating on until it got much lower.

The advantage of my body running at pretty hot temperatures is I don't feel the cold nearly as keenly as most people and can easily compensate by just layering up. My utility bills are relatively low too (though this isn't the reason I don't turn on the heating). The disadvantage is that I can't enjoy what others view as "nice" weather. 15c is nice for me, around 20c it's starting to get too hot and unpleasant.

I don’t think I can compete with Outrunner. Plus this is the second person today who has mentioned the potential damp resulting from not putting the heating on. I can’t be dealing with that, i’m out.

I'm officially out. I just went for a piss and noticed the radiator in the bathroom was warm. My wife has sneakily put the heating on.

She will be severely punished for ruining my chance of glory in this thread.

Kinky

You pissed on your radiator. That doesn't count.

The builders working in the house left the outside doors open this morning, and the temperature fell to 9C, causing the heating to come on as I had forgotten to turn it to full off rather than the minimum temp.
I’m proud to have made it this far (assuming using my wood burning stove doesn’t count), god speed to you remaining men of the frozen north.

Bwah, shooo, figgit, um, the logs fell into the stove, and spontaneous combustion must have ensued. Oddly similar to how I fell into my young assistant and 9 months later she spontaneously gave birth. Second run for PM 2024 eh what.

Do you have any grey poupon to go with that wood burning stove?

Only what I have left from my recent holiday week in Provence. I’ll need the space for the Beaujolais nouveau arriving on the 16th. Tally ho.
