    Putting it on manually at a lower temperature for a few hours morning & evening.

    Won't consider auto timer on higher temperature until it's consistently quite a bit colder.

    Spending £3 a day to keep the house at 21c/19c day/night at the moment
    That seems reasonable. It costs me £2 per day to keep everything running when I am not there (as I found out this week).

    So much to read, so little time.
  • The house felt cold when we got back so we had the heating on for a couple of hours last night. I have three loads of laundry to do so I am using the heated airer to dry some of it and I have put the dehumidifier on in that room too.

  • We have literally been having our heating on for 15 minutes in the morning for the last few weeks now. 
    It takes about 30 minutes to cool down once it's turned off so we get 45 minutes of decent heat. 
  • Still off. Judging by current mild temperatures I am still some distance from unpacking my heated blankets too. 

    To get rid of any residual dampness from laundry dried outside, I will be using the Dri-Buddy. Heating a room for that purpose is just too expensive.
