Central Heating - on yet?

[Reynard]

If you're not worried about the sartorial elegance side of things, then a onesie is a good way of staying warm.

Not really.

Which compared tumble driers and dehumidifiers for drying laundry, and found that dehumidifiers are 1.7 to 4.5 times more expensive, depending on whether your tumbler is a heat pump or condenser.

Ah I've no room for a dryer, might be able to put one in the garage if I made it less dampy but that's a pipe dream for now.

I’d rather freeze to death than wear one of those. Do you nip down to Wallmart in yours.😉

My CH is not on tonight, it's a windy but warm night.

I still don’t understand the concept of turning the heating completely off , isn’t that what room thermostat is for ?
In the summer mine is set at 14C and doesn’t come on at all.

I do the same - 13C in my case.
As you said, in summer it doesn't come on at all.
In winter I leave it at 13C even when I'm out, to avoid frozen pipes.
Of course, when I get home I put the temperature up.

I've fired up the heating today and bled the radiators.
The thermostat is set at 18⁰ and did come on for half an hour.
MrsP feels alot better now even if the radiators are only marginally warm.

Oh it's worse than that: those hollow semicircular legs buckle and the top arms crack at the hinge and fall off. Ours is somewhat shorter than it used to be, with fewer arms!


I wonder what you have. Rohan "Stronghold Winter" are not lightly insulated and have to be changed for ordinary trousers pretty soon on entering a heated building!

We must have been lucky with ours then, as it must be 6 or so years old, and my parents is something like 15 years old, and has travelled all the way to Spain from the UK, over to Mauritius, then back to Spain!
They did need to buy a new cover, but I think they simply lost the one one.

I saw they have a new design one I think, that has much shorter legs, so perhaps that is why.

The troosers I have, are in all likelihood 'old man' trousers, but they seem to me to be fit for purpose:
Donald's Trooooosers

I have a nice selection to stay warm and comfy in. Currently wearing a fluffy tan one that looks a bit like a teddy bear. The hood even has ears on it LOL.

But no, despite the fact that a onesie covers all the pertinent bits more than adequately, if I'm going outside the gate, then I do put proper clothes on.

That said, I saw a woman trotting a couple of kids in onesies and dressing gowns around Tesco last week.

My neighbour, who's lovely but clearly also barking, recently pulled up on the driveway and got out the car in her Jim jams.

We exchanged then usual pleasantries and she proudly informed me she'd just nipped out to B&Q.
