Thanks mhoc, she has moved down to 5th

Please everyone keep sharing with all your family, friends and colleagues the link to Ruth's video for them to watch and hopefully vote for her. Thank you. :A

The college are in the process of spreading the word how well she has done apparently she had not mentioned it to her tutor. :eek:

don't loose heart, there is still time.

college might have a news page on their website so she might be able to get a mention on that page.
also make sure everyone shares the link on their facebook pages and twitter pages

Good morning, still rooting for Ruth my dd has put on her Facebook and she has loads of friends, twinboys was wondering what is under your underfloor heating, like tiger we have it downstairs and my only gripe is that when the sun shines the house is like a green house so very warm and the underfloor heating takes so long to heat up or cool down it's pointless adjusting it so open the windows instead 😱

Yes hopefully they do have news page and twitter it's whether they get it on in time. I had asked Ruth to mention it on Monday at college but she was too shy to say anything.

Yes it is Tiny and really works well;)and they do say it is better to leave the heating on low all the time as more economical :money:how true this is am not sure but I am quite happy with my Bills and never get a big shock:eek:

Noooo, old wives tale!
Just popping in so dont have time to look for a better link, but from MSE hitself...
Should I leave the heating on low all day even when I'm out, or turn it up only when I need it?

According to leading energy experts at the Energy Saving Trust, as well as British Gas, the idea that it's cheaper to leave the heating on low all day is a myth. They're clear that you'll save energy, and therefore money, by only having the heating on when it's required. (Using a timer's best, because your thermostat is designed to turn your heating on and off to keep your home at the temperature you set it.)

The key thing to understand here is that it's all about the total amount of energy required to heat your home.

It's a given that a certain amount of energy is constantly leaking out of your home (though exactly how much will depend on how good your insulation is). So if you're keeping the heating on all day you're losing energy all day - it's better to heat your home only when you need it, even if that means whacking the temperature up high.

However it is worth being aware that while the most commonly cited argument for leaving the heating on (that it's cheaper than heating the home up from cold) is a myth, there are a few specialists who argue you should keep the heating on constantly for a different reason.

They advocate keeping the heating on low all day, turning all radiator valves up to the max and the boiler down to the minimum, and say that the problem with turning the heating on and off is that every time it's turned off, condensation collects within the walls. This condensation can help conduct heat outside the home, they say - meaning you leak heat more quickly and so will use more energy as a result.

MSE forum feedback: Some complain only having the heating on when required risks you being cold, because it can take time to heat up homes, especially larger ones. Of course, that may be true, but this is a MoneySaving site, so we’re focused on cost.

Yet as a balance, if you go down the route of having the heating on only at certain times, you could switch the timer on a little bit earlier, so the house will be nice and toasty when needed, but you’re not pumping out energy all day.
