Cold Weather Payments

Why is it I always seem to fall short by one tiny tick.

I cannot believe this governments view of the little people. I was worried about benefits and they actually try and cut the punishment to those who try and take a womens dignity, rapists. http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/politics/2011/05/20/ken-clarke-in-new-slur-on-women-sex-attack-victims-as-he-closes-rape-courts-115875-23142539/

I wonder when the first of these will happen this year.
Certainly getting chillier here.
13C inside, as I speak.

At least I have one room properly insulated this year, which I should be able to afford to heat to over 5C.

Can you afford to buy an oil filled radiator, cost about £50 for a 2kw one?

I live in a Victorian building (huge rooms, high ceilings, looked great when I viewed it) not so great to heat.

I recently bought an oil filled radiator, to use in addition to the CH when I'm working over the winter, but have had to use it already. :eek:

Anyway, I'm amazed at how good it is. I've been feeling the cold for weeks now, and I'm shocked at how good this is.

I work in my kitchen/dining area; no carpets or soft furnishings to keep the heat in and, despite the 15' high ceilings, my £50 radiator is working a treat.

Might be worth saving up for?
