Undefloor heating vs oil filled radiators

Hi all,
Received an electricity bill this morning for a whopping £300 (I live in a small 2 bed apartment). From the period 1st March - 9th March the electricity used came to £98!!
It seems my underfloor heating is to blame... I don't really have it on that warm (approx 18 degrees), and it's on a timer so it comes on for 2 hours in a morning and 4 hours at night.
Obviously it's eating away at the leccy, so i'm wondering if a few strategically placed electric oil filled radiators will be any cheaper to run?
Any advice much appreciated - just tring to save a bit of cash as these bills are crippling me. Have recently switched to a much cheaper supplier, but the bills are still too high.
p.s. switched off ALL the underfloor heating this morning - just hoping the warm weather lasts!
