Freezing without heating on all night
Hi Just recently moved to a rented flat with my 2 yr old, it's freezing at night for him, unless the central heatings on all night even then it's barely comfortable.

Mains gas vs. Calor gas for single cooker only?

Odd "problem"
Hi all, I have a bit of a weird one. We just moved into our new house (new build) and the woman at the company was kind enough, when taking the meter readings, to round them up to give us a bit of free gas, elec, and water.
