We have ours in when we feel cold. That is usually when we get up and in the evening but if it's chilly in the afternoon when we're usually reading or similar we'll put it on. We're very fortunate in that we can afford to do that. |

"Who still hasn't turned their heating on yet? I can afford to have mine on as I'm comfortable money wise but I'm just a tight ass😂"
Lols, I'm the same. I wear thermals and a hat inside. I'm too "poor" to be burning money. 😉🫢😂 |

"It's on but we live with my elderly father so it's acceptable
And toasty"
It's acceptable if you're cold anyway.
We encourage my dad (97) to use his heating and fortunately he does. I just wish he'd stop using his coal fire, it frightens the life out of me with him carrying buckets of coal. |

Don't worry, Ed Milliband will soon be telling you when you can use power.No lights until 4am for one hour. You will batch cook at 11pm but not be allowed to freeze your meals,you will eat them all at once,it's much the same as the poor used to do but Ed is actually letting you have food. IF,and it's a big if,you need to put the heating on it will be on a rolling rota of five minutes every 24 hours. |

I have relented - just this afternoon. I was sitting shivering whilst waiting a phone call for an interview, and I figured it wouldn't convey the appropriate professional image if they could hear my teeth chattering! |

the problem is once you let you house go cold ie everything is very cold to touch then its very hard to warm its core back up and thats when its gets expensive..
i feel sorry for those who struggle |

"Mine won't b going on as pensioner I can't afford to put it on ! I have plenty of throws and a oodie! Not that it's even cold yet! Might treat myself xmas day and have it on a couple of hours! X"
Are you entitled to claim the winter fuel allowance? |

"Unfortunately not I'm £3ish over the pension credit threshold! Have tried! I know there has to b a cut of! It is what it is! I'm not someone who feels the cold luckily! X"
Damn! We always say it's not fair on people that are just a few quid over |

"Mine goes on if the thermostat says 19° in the mornings, or if I'm having a bath or shower.
When my body gets wet and cold I suffer.
I got a lovely thick jumper for mu birthday that keeps me warm in the evenings."
