Well I put the winter duvet on the bed yesterday but haven't put the heating on yet, just put a cardi on when I am cold and have a blanket on the sofa if I need it in the evening, Hope to leave the heating off for a month or so yet but we will see.
When the heating does go on we have it on a timer - it comes on in the morning before OH gets up for work and goes off at 9am and then comes back on at 4pm going off at 7pm. If I am cold during the day I have a gas fire I can put on in the lounge.
