The question most will dread: who has the heating on already or if not, when are you putting it on?
It's still fairly mild here but our house temperature has dropped by almost 5° in 2 days!
So heating on yet, or are you holding out?

Mine has gone on this morning.

We put ours few times already

I put ours on twice yesterday, and had it in for 15 mins this morning.

Mines been on last few days, as my house is freezing in winter

Mines been on a few days, hour in morning, hour in evening and 2 hours through the night, turning off radiators in house that we don't need, warming up babies bed with a hot bottle before he goes in x

Mine has been on today for about half an hour as when my little boy woke up his room had dropped down to 18 over night and felt chilly in there, so while temps have dropped think we are going to set a timer for half an hour for around 3/4am x

mines been on at points through the night for a couple of days now, last night it got particularly cold x

My babies bedroom is sitting at 22. We asked for a long sleeved sleeping bag for her birthday and will layer accordingly to make sure she is warm enough. It is still quite warm in the house and we’ve not been getting any condensation on the windows so holding off for as long as possible xxx

Yeh we have had to have it on for a couple of hours a day as the temp has dropped x

Yes it’s been several days… we’re on the ground floor of a Victorian house with no double glazing 😵 Winter will be tough

Ours has been on a little bit but came on this morning as it definitely was feeling a lot chillier.

Not yet. We’re in a new build so it’s pretty good at keeping in the heat compared to our old house. I have put him in his 2.5tog sleeping bag with sleep suit and body suit and thinking tonight might put the arms on it as it is chilly but it’ll be too hot with heating.

Ours goes on in the morning to take the chill off and then again beofre bed

I noticed our came on yesterday morning!

First time today! Held off as this weather is really confusing me. We went for a stroll today and it was so warm we wore short sleeves! And I was sweating a lot from carrying baby. The sun was warm.
And now tonight his room is freezing and we have the heating on for the first time! Xx

Had it on over the past couple of days - a couple of hours in the morning and a couple in the evening before bed, set to 18 degrees which does a good job of taking the edge off. Thankfully our house holds heat well once it’s warm and LO’s room is usually warmest in the house so I’m not too worried about him (he’s a naturally warm babe too). Have turned the electric blanket on in my bed when he wakes so it’s nice and toasty when I get back 👌🏼 highly recommend haha! X

Thanks all! We held off yesterday but his room dropped to below 17° overnight and he woke up cold at 4:45am 🙃 so looks like we will be keeping it on low through the night.
