  • My bubblewrap is up in the bedrooms and on the glass of the backdoor. I could swear the back bedroom did lose heat more slowly after getting warmed up.

    Just did my British Gas bill predict and have only spent £5 since Sunday on combined energy, which is down as my predicted bill has gone from £250 to £245. I will keep working to bring that down. Gas has gone down and electricity gone up slightly since I've been using the fan heater to warm just one room now and then, but overall seems to have worked out cheaper over 5 days. Will have to see when it gets really cold again, a relatively tropical 9C outside at the moment so heat staying off!

  • CH off here but DD has a horrible cold and is feeling a little bit chilly so I have agreed to the fire going on for 30 mins.

    That's just nice for me, I hate the cold. I'm quite positive I'm a reptile really.

    went off 2 hours ago and i'm beginning to freeze. Looks like joining a snoring man in bed to warm up.

    Its too cold to not have heating during the day surely!

  • Sat up waiting for my youngest DD to get back from London and the living room is 19 degrees, can't wait to head to bed as the temperature in there is 12 degrees tonight. 19 degrees feels too warm for me, would like it at about 16/17 degrees.
  • Heating not been on for two days now as both me & OH have worked till 21.00

    House not too cold, just wore dressing gown & still warm :j
    Now thanks to Tommix & Queen Bear, now Lady Westy of Woodpecker :)
