Its lovely and sunny, and I am happy that my energy bills have finally stabilised to £2-£2.50 per day so the heating is not going on until October (hopefully!).No man is worth crawling on this earth.
So much to read, so little time.2 -

It's still on, especially first thing in the morning and for a while in the evenings as it's still chilly in my neck of the woods. We even had frost the other night. I'm with you @Wednesday2000 - our house is definitely colder than it is outside.Be kind to others and to yourself too.3

Mine is on first thing in the morning and for a while in the evening too @YorksLass. We had a lovely sunny day one day last week then the next day we had rain hail and freezing cold blustery wind and a frost a couple of days ago. My living room is in the colder part of the house and doesnt get the sun until afternoon so its often warmer outside than indoors. I still have some money in reserve with my energy company as I think they put my direct debit up when they didnt need to.2

Sounds just like our living room @Auntycaz - it's definitely the coldest room in the house which is a shame as that's where we spend most of our day. I sometimes think we'd be warmer sitting outside! Our DD has gone down but we've still a decent credit balance that I'll save towards next winter's bills.Be kind to others and to yourself too.2

Timer has been turned off but heating still very much ON usually morning and evening
It's so very cold all the time apart from the odd nice day.
Was hoping to have extra money next month due to much lower heating use, my guesstimate (faulty gas smart meter) is it's only been a bit lower than March and that cost me nearly £100 for both.
Manual temp is fixed at 21 & timer is self set at 21.5 (thermostat in warmest spot so that gets a decent temperature in living room and bedroom which is the very cold room) so may have saved a bit there- fingers crossed.
Electricity seems down £1-2 a week since the clocks changed, so that's something at least.5 -
Still got my heating on. It was -1 degree here this morning. You just think its warming up and it gets cold again .2

On here too this evening. it's turned miserably cold this evening and as I'm disabled I can't move around much to keep my circulation going. Besides, my tomato seedlings growing on the window sill need a little tender TLC !!
AND i will probably indulge in a hot water bottle tonight. Had hoped by now I could have retired it for the winter.2
