we have had our wood burner going several nights this week burning chopped pallets.
And the gas boiler has kicked in several times this week too.

It's been switched off for around 2 weeks now but we couldn't bear the cold any longer!
Anyone else got their heating on in the middle of May?

Never switch it off, let the room stat take care of it. This being an old solid stone place if you let it get cold it takes days (literally) to warm back up...
The woodburner has been fired up, after a couple of weeks rest, to reduce the amount of oil being burnt. Snowing again today but not settling at our level but Crossfell went gone decidedly grey with larger white patches(*). Yesterday or was it Monday morning it was fully white. Daffs are in full bloom, they didn't start until well into the first week of May. The early trees are just starting to break bud.
(*) Some of the winter snow is still lying and a few small areas on Yad Moss remain as well.

Never actually turned mine off - just left the progstat to it ;-)
(its been mostly off, but did kick in a couple of mornings recently - but running at a very low flow temp (39 deg C) due to the weather compensator doing its thing).

Just to cheer you up, a pal who has a place in the south of Spain and went there a couple of weeks ago reports it's cold there too - and of course the house is poorly insulated, has poor heating, and all their winter clothes are in the UK...

Yes. And the fire on as well last night. It was down to 5C at one point yesterday evening and snowing on the hills not far away. Visibility was very poor last night and it had all gone again by this morning.
It is bright and sunny warm here today once the sun came up!

Yep. This house always seems to attract the wind at the front, no matter what way it's blowing. I keep the heating on a low setting in non-winter (it doesn't trigger in summer) and it came on for a while yesterday. Went out in shorts and T-shirt yesterday morning and soon regretted it. Snow in Devon, apparently.

I went out in parka and woolly hat. Regretted that too at about 4 when it became almost springlike in London

I never actually switch it off. I let the thermostat do that. Upstairs is on a separate zone and that is switched off permanently except on very cold days.

Turned mine down to 18C a few weeks ago which at this time of year should mean it never comes on. But it was on this morning.

I should be off to Italy next week, but the tower is one metre of solid stone, no heating, empty all winter. Current afternoon temp about 15C, so I am not in a great hurry to be on my way.

I never turn it off. the controls decide if it needs to actually do anything. The heating has been on in the living area a few times in the morning recently, the sleeping area has not been on.
