Similar temps inside here , 18c downstairs and 19.5c upstairs.  Hopefully the downstairs will warm up a bit as the sun comes out later. 

The heating may make an appearance this week though. Tomorrow to Friday temps outside will be more like they should be in Mid October with some low overnight lows too.

Been hanging onto temperatures in the low 20s downstairs through careful opening and closing of windows over the last few days. This morning it was 19.7C in the living room and I expect it to drop steadily during the week. Cool nights seem to be more influential than cool days as far as our indoor temperatures go.

It'll be a good time to give the heating a trial run... so mine will be on for half an hour or so later in the week!

22C in all rooms and 14.8C now in the conservatory as it dropping like a stone so might see first single digit by morning after reaching 25.5C nad yesterday 29.6C that give in doors temps of 24-25C.

16.5 this morning downstairs, and 18 upstairs! The former is quite remarkable for mid-September, and it happens to be the level I set my thermostat to. The heating's still off for summer, but it'd have been very close to clicking on this morning...
I think I'll test it tomorrow morning (for half an hour, making sure all the radiators are hot), as with a high of just 16 today and a strong wind, followed by a genuinely cold night, I reckon it'll be even cooler tomorrow.

I rather expected it but my heating came on briefly this morning. It is off again now that the indoor temperatures are in the 16 to 19°C range. 
I suspect it will kick in a few times before the end of Friday as we will struggle to reach double figures outside most of the time.

18.5c across both floors of the house this morning.  Hopefully some sunshine and a hive of activity in the house can maintain the temperature. 
Rare that there isn't someone in our house at the moment  during the day which I think helps keep it warm .  Even so some really cool nights to come so I wouldn't be surprised if the heating is needed tomorrow.

Living room down to 18.7C this morning and we're not into the really cool nights yet. Definitely time to start layering up on sweaters again - I tend to wear 2 thin sweaters and a thick sweater on top in mid-winter!
My loft study was very similar this morning but is already up to 19.7C as the sun starts to heat it up.

Went down to 20.1C this morning and first single digit since April at 8.1C then rose to 27.7C while living room to pleasantly warm 24.2 and only 21C in my bedroom as it fasing the northerly blast air on the north facing window.  Mind you felt 21C a bit chilly after getting used to low to mid 20's bedroom.  Will get to it again at 21.

Currently 13.1 outside, 21.0 inside, due to large south-facing windows. Solar hot water had a good run today.

Stayed at 18 for most of the afternoon downstairs, now 17.5... upstairs is 21 (solar gain on a flat roof, so a 9C temperature differential over the past few hours).
I suspect the downstairs will cross the traditional 16.5 threshold for the heating in the early hours!
(11C outside, and a cold, windy night to come means it's bound to cool a couple of degrees, I'd have thought.)

No sweatshirts or jumpers required here, mind you, I'm in my usual polo shirt and jeans... it'll be interesting to see how old I am when the eventual "ooh, it's chilly in here, give me a jumper" thing kicks in! I've managed to get to 44 and still don't feel the cold...

Heating is permanently off until October and will get my local neighour plumber to service the boiler and test run the rads at 60C before turning down to 40-45C for the winter months.

Would hope I would be at least 65 before I started feeling the cold!

19c here inside so survive another day without heating.

18 upstairs this morning, 16 downstairs - so for the first time in ages the annual "make sure the heating works" test hasn't turned the house into a sweatbox! It's now 16.5, and yes, the heating works fine. 👌(There's a different feel to the air when it's been heated by radiators, I find, and a distinct smell to it... I remember an elderly aunt, many years ago, commenting as she entered our - heated to silly levels just for her - house that "it smells warm in here".)

And as for when people feel the chill, it's anywhere from the mid 50s onwards in my family, and it seems to happen suddenly...

16.8c downstairs and 18c upstairs now. 4.2c low and 4.9c now so not surprising really.  
Will probably put the heating on later unless there is a miraculous recovery, my mum is coming over and won't tolerate below 19c downstairs. 
Agree re the smell , it's like the petrichor of inside when the heating goes on for the first time.

It's now 18C in the hall as I had to boost it such was the shock(!) and 19.4C in the lounge which benefits from human activity, kettles being boiled etc.

EDIT: By way of comparison although I don't have the temperature figures the gas usage last September showed a spike which would represent the start of colder days around the 20th, so not much different. The real winter acceleration started during the second week of October.

Interesting to see the temperature that jumper wearing kicks in. I'm usually in shorts and T shirts until the October half term starts which is also when we usually put the heating on.
I'm 46.
Temp inside is 18.2c
