Reasons to keep your radiators on now it's getting warmer.

Turn your radiator into a slow cooker by placing a bowl of vegetable stew ingredients on top and leaving for 4 hours.
Apple sauce can be made by placing a bowl of chopped apples on the radiator, and adding a little water and sugar.
Washing up can be made cheaper by balancing the bowl on top of the radiator for an hour or so before it's needed.
Fill the watering can with water and place it on the radiator. Use this to wash your hair.
Relieve constipation by standing for long periods with your bum against the radiator. This is also effective for breaking down excess fat through the use of heat.
Avoid buying note paper by mushing up your pencil shavings in water, squashing them flat then hanging them up above the radiator to dry - beautiful home made paper.

Ah!!! our radiators are off and have been since the cold snap

I am looking forward to getting my solar water heaters out soon0 -

Thanks GR and one to add : when you do finally switch off (holidays and the like) - drain the radiator fully and bingo you have lovely spring water to sip in the summer0
