April is always variable. I remember one year swimming in Tarn Hows at the end of April; the next year we had driving snow! Heating still on here in North Yorkshire, but then we’re up high and usually “a coat colder” than, say, even Skipton 
It’s not that variable down here. It’s been awful IMO. And obviously as we all know the wettest ever start to a year. I have just decreased the 'morning' setpoint from 17 to 16c which is only just above the 15c setback night temp, reducing the amount of morning heating right down. Still not warm out, but the day feels more inviting now its light.
Bedroom temp is higher than the living room overnight but we only have the one room stat.

I'm genuinely fed up with the 6-7 months of crap weather.
I think I'm even more fed up with the no end in sight! Any forecast I look at barely has even 'sunny spells' let alone anything better, for 10 days! Just not being any glimmer of hope to cling to, even Puggit's high pressure for last weekend ended up being very cold and not much sun.

Main farmhouse is staying at 17c without heating on,infact the central heating went off over a month ago but log burner is on occasionally as is the Dyson fan heater and kitchen aga stays warm after use for hours..
In case anyone needed reminding they're on Pistonheads 
Central heating been down to just an hour in the morning for the past couple of weeks. Going to put it off totally now. Main room faces kinda south with lots of glass so warms up during the day and if it’s really overcast I can use the log burner in there in the evening. The bedrooms getting to 18/19 just from solar gain so no need to heat that now. In fact it gets too hot in the summer months.

New thread needed. "Has anyone turned their heating off yet?" 
Not yet................ but that's normal for this house it works best with little and often rather than trying to get it back to temp after letting it go really cold - typically it's off more than it's on in May but it really is weather dependantI just moved the timer on the thermostat so the heating comes on at 8pm instead of 6pm. It wont come on until after the sun goes away most nights.
Im not turning it off until we are at least half way through May.
Im also changing the duvet to the summer downy.
Winter was a 10.5 tog
Summer downy will be a 4.5 tog
We do have a 15 tog downy but it hasnt been a bad enough winter in about 5 years for that
