Is this gas usage normal for others?

Boiler on for 3 hrs this morning - 8:30-9:15am (Heating and Hot water) and then 10:30-12:45 pm (Heating only). Consumption was 5.3 units (59.26 kwh). Therefore, average usage was 1.76 units/hr. Cost was £2.19 for the 3 hrs. House never really gets very warm because of high ceilings, no doubleglazing, etc. We have 10 rads in flat. Is this in line with everyone else?

    Why do you need the hot water on for three hours? How many in the flat? Have you made any attempt to insulate the place (heavy curtains/ plastic film on windows)? What is your preferred ambient temperature?
