What temperature do you have your thermostat set to?
I live in a three bedroom bungalow and my dad has the thermostat set to 21C
I, personally, find that to hot and 20C is a much more comfortable temperature
So I'm curious what temperature you guys/girls have your thermostat set to?

Secretly I'm a polar bear - I have mine set to 13C.
I like it cool. I actually had to turn my central heating on this weekend - it was getting a touch chlly - my breath was condensing.

Ours is set to 17 degrees C normally but we had it up to 22 degrees for an hour on Friday night though as it was really chilly!

Re: What temperature do you have your thermostat set to?
The answer depends so much on where your thermostat is located; ours is halfway up the stairs and having recently doubled the insulation in the loft, the heating never came on as upstairs was always warm so we had to turn ours up to 21 degrees having previously turned it down to 20!

16-18 normally. 20 if the GF is staying as she always complains it's too cold.

We do have CH but we don't tend to use it since we knocked up a wood-burner from an old gas cylinder..

I thought I was the only one here Peanut... I have the zone that controls my room set to about 22....
I think I am warm blooded because when it gets colder outside I am colder inside..... Like when its summertime I usually love 17C but in the colder months,17 is wayyyyyyyyyyy too cold for me......
