    Another lovely day in Bournemouth, still no heating on. Mind you the down side to this warmth - False widow spiders have been found down the road in Southborne. Eek! I HATE SPIDERS! I now hope it gets cold soon.

    I meant I've got hot water bottles and fleeces for when it gets really cold. I think it depends where you live as well and weather conditions. I tend to layer up if cold.

    Gone a very chilly 9C here tonight, heating on. Very cold wind, clear sky.
    A noticeable change from today.

    We've had the heating on once, a couple of weeks ago when it suddenly got very cold and that was for the afternoon on a Sunday.

    Apart from that, off and the woodburner not on either.
    Freedom is not worth having if it does not include the freedom to make mistakes.

    I put the woodburner on tonight - which is essentially free fuel due to some trees being chopped earlier in the year. Do those with woodburners go scavenging for wood?

    Heating only goes on when I need to dry clothes or my flatmate puts it on. Otherwise my nice cosy Dunelm mill red squared throw does the job! It's a challenge to see how cold I can get before I break.

  • It felt very chilly when I woke up about 5 this morning. It's supposed to warm up so ours is still off.:)
  • 65f in here, so again, no heating or shirt.

    Just got my gas bill, for the period middle of July to middle of October.

    The average daily usage was 4.59KWh.

    For the same period last year, the average daily usage was 8.34KWh.

    Another quite warm day here. I was out and about in a thin fleece rather than a coat today.
    Because it's fun to have money!
