    Wink Have you still got central heating on in the UK

    Hi all,
    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?
    Mick.

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

    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 freezing this winter.

    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] 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!

    just today we turned it down for the first time coz we noticed its getting warm .
    and we bought electirc fan last week so i think we start using it soon.
    and also we removed the third layer of duvet
    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
    CRITICIZING OTHERS IS A DANGEROUS THING, NOT SO MUCH BECAUSE YOU MAY MAKE MISTAKES ABOUT THEM, BUT BECAUSE YOU MAY BE REVEALING THE TRUTH ABOUT YOURSELF.
