Is that a picture of her in your avatar?

I wish!

Yeah, opens the kitchen window when cooking. Keeps heaters in the porch as well and in the kid's room. Uses a hot water bottle as well. She's sweating good when she get's to bed.

Mine does that, then opens the French Windows "to let some fresh air in".

We used to have a variant on that problem with the air-conditioning. The ex-mrs HAB didn't do it; she wasn't that silly. However, when we had visitors from the UK they would keep leaving doors and windows open while leaving the a/c running. Poor little a/c was doing it's wot-nots in trying to cool and dehumidify the whole of a tropical island and driving up HAB's 'leccy bill in the process.

Wife keeps it on year round - and has the fire on quite a bit of the time.

Ours is thermostatically controlled. It's never switched off. (Except for servicing, and if we're away for more than a week ).

Same here, but when I go away for any time I put the control unit into frost mode so that the 7 day temperature programmes don't run.

I'm getting a gas fire like this fitted next week.

I had to put the fleece lining back in my jacket last night. Freezing it was.

I live up north but am from down south.

I reckon I'll have the heating on all year round.
