I just put the heating on for an hour as I felt chilly. We are still almost £95 in credit with Ovo.2

We are still in credit with Eon. They want to put the direct debit for electric down by over £30!Decluttering Achieved - 2023 - 10,364 Decluttering - 2024 - 8,365 August - 0/45

Heating has been off for more than a week. Fleece blanket off the bed too.2

The weather has totally changed. Very warm and sunny. My windows are all open and my washing is on the line.🤩2

We had a brief cold snap and heating went on for one night. Weather a bit variable and the heating is off, it's windows closed and long-sleeved tshirt weather tho.1

My heating has been off for over a month and it's not going back on until October now!
I paid off my accrued bill, which was over £1,000 - painful. I try to be positive and see it as an interest-free loan...No man is worth crawling on this earth.
So much to read, so little time.2 -
The heating is most definitely on. It was 11 in my kitchen this morning!2
