    put on GCH this morning 1st time since March 2026. As it got down to 2c in early hours this morning.

    Only put it on for an hour and that warmed us to 19c as the house was still warm from log fire last nite

    Looked at cost on 🐙 and after you take off our average standard 65p daily DHW it shockingly came to £1.50 - FOR ONE HOUR running GHC in 3 bed detached.

    Dread to think what the costs will look like when weather/house gets properly cold.

    PV 5.04kWp SW facing
    Solar Battery 6.5 kWh

    Mortgage freedom January 2024 - paid off 7 years early by making overpayments where we could.

    Could that have been because it was the first use of the season and the system needed heating up from scratch?

    No man is worth crawling on this earth.

    So much to read, so little time.
