    Living room rad is on and so is bathroom towel rail. They will come on early morning, a little before coming in from school and then for a few hours of an evening and will be as standard. It will have to get very cold to switch the bedroom radiators on.

    I am turning the thermostats down though as it is too warm at present.

    First day I considered putting on the CH low for a little while early morning but as our boiler has packed up, that luxury will have to wait a little longer. We will use heat as and when we need it but it will be a need and not a want. Had the oven on this eve and some clothes drying with the dehumidifier and they have really warmed the place up. Intend to start baking bread and cakes etc again so the oven will be killing 2 birds.

    It's a horrible dreich day today but not cold enough for any heating yet. Probably need to put the heavy duvet on the bed soon though.

    No heating yet, a few more candles though. I've bought a cozy PJ jumper from t*sco though. Still using the tumble dryer and oven at dinner time which heats the flat nicely.
