    Default Day 2, no heat

    It was beautiful and warm yesterday so I turned the heat off. We were comfortable last night so I didn't have to turn the heat on.

    we're looking at 35 and snow next weekend. Ugh I hope the warm days stay around so my heat bill will go way down next time.

    Here in CT it has been in the 50's this week it will go into the 60's. Last week I paid $3.68 a gallon for fuel oil. I am so ready to turn the heat off.

    It's nice to turn the heat off! I'm sure your bill will be so much better!

    We ran out of oil last week and have just been using space heaters first thing in the morning and at night before bed. The house is fine, it's warm because of the sun.

    It's pretty sad though when using electric to heat the house is cheaper than oil! I remember when electric heat was the "expensive" way.

    I just turned it back on. It's feeling a little chilly in here and my kids needs baths. Hopefully it will be off by morning.

    I wish I didn't have to run the AC already. It's practically summer here already in Alabama.

    That's all I have to say.

    The heat it OFF! and it's not coming back on.. that's it. I am tired of paying the outrageous price for heating.

    I also turned the heat off for the season about 5 days ago. Been a bit chilly as the weather turned cool and rainy but I'm toughing it out and just bundling up more.
