Seen a few posts about people getting their heating on now.

Who is using their heating yet? We try and hold out until October, but getting a bit chilly!

Number of rooms. My house is over 200 sq m but only has 2 bedrooms. Daft, innit?

I'm in a mid terrace so no heating...yet.

But, I've just finished installing heating for our GuineaPig who lives in hutch outside the kitchen window. I used an Oven tray placed upside-down in the hutch with a 40w bulb screwed to the base, cabled with 3core so the tray is earthed. Then plugged into a 2way dimmer and timer.

The little rodent now gets ~30w of lightbulb heating 12hours a day to stop it catching a cold while he's sleeping :0)
