Flights Posted October 12, 2011 Report Share Posted October 12, 2011 I used to live in a flat with no heating at all. It was grim. The sole reason I survived the winter of 2007/8 was the £8.99 halogen heater I bought from poundstretcher! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaaakkkeee Posted October 12, 2011 Report Share Posted October 12, 2011 I did it on hugs and hot water bottles. And extra blankets and shit. Was I fuck paying to use the heating. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flights Posted October 12, 2011 Report Share Posted October 12, 2011 Thank fuck I live in a house with central heating now. My house was 21 degrees this fine morn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaaakkkeee Posted October 12, 2011 Report Share Posted October 12, 2011 Well I like to fall asleep cold, so my window is left open, and no one puts the heating on before I get up so mornings are a horrible experience. I prefer to be cool, but not freezing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lemonade Posted October 12, 2011 Report Share Posted October 12, 2011 The little farm cottage I lived in in BOD was like that. I used to sleep in trackie bottoms, socks, a t-shirt, a jumper and a dressing gown, underneath my duvet with all my jackets piled on top of it just to try and stay warm. It was fucking ridiculous. I had a flat on Marischal Street that was just as bad. Top floor, no heaters and no insulation in the loft, and all the windows were single glazed and leaked. One morning I went through to the kitchen and there was a glass of water on the worktop that had frozen. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soda Jerk Posted October 13, 2011 Report Share Posted October 13, 2011 The 09/10 winter got me pretty bad, i normally don't get sick but i, similarly to lucky, would go to bed with thermal socks, pyjama bottoms, tshirt, sometimes a hoody, a dressing gown, a blanket and then my duvet. I would only turn the heating on if my girlfriend was staying over. I was really ill over that winter and i normally at worst got an easily bearable cold. Last winter i had the flu for a few weeks and i get colds all the time, pretty sure that winter destroyed my immune system. For some reason, my flatmates room was totally fine, absolute cunt never turned his heating on once.So, you actually had heating, but didn't use it unless a girl was round, voluntarily making yourself ill? Crazy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soda Jerk Posted October 13, 2011 Report Share Posted October 13, 2011 I'm probably considered a fairly low earner, but I'd still consider the heating to be an essential outgoing, on an equal par with electricity, food and hot water. Everything else is secondary and beyond, especially if it's making you ill.Having the heating on for a couple of hours a day in winter doesn't amount to that much. Last winter I was paying about £25 a month, and that included hot water usage. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Gold Posted October 13, 2011 Report Share Posted October 13, 2011 Heating costs money Mr. Big Bucks.If you take even one day off work because you're ill, you've pretty much lost out on a nice couple months of heating. Staying toasty is a wise investment. Plus you don't feel like shit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soda Jerk Posted October 13, 2011 Report Share Posted October 13, 2011 You want to talk hot, try a McDonalds apple pie. Holy mother of fuck they are hot in the middle.Anything syrup-y turns molten when heated slightly. at the tender age of 11, I once thought it would be a good idea to quickly microwave a jam filled doughnut to make it all hot and soft like a fresh one. A quick 20 seconds later and the jam spewed out into my mouth at a temperature hotter than the surface of the sun. Tears were shed, and I still have a white mark on my tongue where I learned not to fuck about with jam. Jam's not something to be fucked with. It could seriously kill a man if heated long enough. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soda Jerk Posted October 13, 2011 Report Share Posted October 13, 2011 I keep jam in the fridge now, just in case the 15 degrees Aberdeen sun shining through the window is enough to make the jar burst into flames.Safety first. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
