Hi all,:Hellooo:
I am living on the Isle of Wight, a “Garden Isle”
I have been turning my night storage heating down over the past week, but finally turned it off yesterday!
I am just wondering if those blessed with there Filipina Wife’s are still needing the central heating on?

I haven't got any central heating to turn off? :Erm:

All I've got is woodburners, which aren't very warm, when the wood's not dry & one plug in radiator.

My place is very rustic...it's been :censored: freezing this winter. :freezin:

Ours tends to be on first thing in the mornings ... and again in the evenings, now that we're [purportedly] into British Summer Time. Hopefully, the mercury will continue to rise, and we've experienced the last of the [hitherto] :freezin: temperatures for a few months at least!

My Gas CH is still on for an hour first thing in the morning and an hour in the evening, although I have turned the thermostat down from 24 to 21. There's no Filipina here yet.

I'd like to turn if off completely, but I've compromised and just turned down the thermostat a bit.

But as I site here typing this in a short sleeved shirt, my wife is huddled under a blanket! :freezin:

and one thing, we sleep in daytime ( coz of hubby's work shift ) its hard for me to sleep coz the sun taking a long time to go down, when am sleeping already my mind is just conscious that the sun is still there 8 o'clock in the evening so i just could'nt go back to sleep when the sun is still there:Brick:
