00:00I always think October's the line. If you go before October, you've gone too soon.
00:04But there's always a debate in our house about when's too early.
00:07Hopefully not in September, but October I think is the time to put it on.
00:13I know.
00:14I would reckon you would put it on at the end of this month, next month.
00:18I'm not going to lie, I'm the coldest person alive,
00:20so the heating has been on in September, but normally it is October, but yeah.
00:26So you've not put it on yet?
00:28No.
00:29Have you put yours on yet?
00:31Yes, just once.
00:34Obviously we've gone through a cost of living crisis, things are a lot more expensive.
00:37Still in it.
00:38Would that prevent you from putting your heating on now?
00:41No.
00:41What prompted you to do that?
00:45Rain.
00:46Yeah, we both work outside, so we got really wet and we wanted warming up when we got home,
00:51so we just put the heating on for a little bit, just a couple of hours.
00:55Well enough heat keeps you, you know what I mean, keeps you healthier than cold, that's for sure.
