Its half way gone. The coonara heats the living area, but doesn't touch the bed rooms. Luckily the kids are tough and don't bat an eye lid.
As for me, well lets just say that getting up in a morning has become a major drama, my bedroom feels like an igloo

Do you stoke the fire before you retire and leave the boudoir door ajar overnight?

Near enough. Timber-framed former barn house, built in 1300, when central heating consisted of some cows in the barn and bedding shelves around the edge to sleep on. We didn't have any cows, so we froze. Ice on the inside of the windows? I thought all houses had that
We had a boiler. My dad used to turn it on on Christmas Eve and off on New Year's Day. We did have an AGA though, so I have happy memories of sitting on a stool with my feet in the bottom oven to warm them up.

Yup and then turning around and putting your head in the oven to dry your hair! Lol!

The coonara doesn't give out enough heat overnight to make it worth while. At least with the doors shut, when we get up the morning the living areas are warm enough to eat your breakfast in
(unless i'm missing something about overnight doings with the coonara
)
