We still have one of those old dial type. I set it and take to knob off to avoid the thermostat wars !!! Heating allowed on 1st November, if you're cold put something thicker on is my normal statement. hence my £63 a month bill, harsh man that I am   

Yes I would do that but we have one of the new digital displays so not able to take any knob off.  DH recently recovering from open heart surgery so that could account for him always feeling cold at the moment.  I bought him a throw to stick over his legs if sitting on the sofa in the evening and that is my classic go to response to him feeling cold.  I don't think 20 degrees is too low but he often turns it up to 22. 

I do not know your financial situation BUT why be cold if you can afford to turn the heating up ,most people are of a certain age on this forum and do not have many years left so why scrimp on basics like heating ! might as well stop eating and still be able to brag about how much capital they have . 

Nothing to do with finances TBH. I have difficulty getting through that if you turn the thermostat up to 35 the house will not heat up any quicker and if it were to achieve the impossible and reach 35 you would be moaning its too hot. !!!

Naaah.  Won't be too hot.  You can just open all the windows.

I did once have a plumber tell me it was more efficient to leave the heating on all the time.  I felt like telling him there's no point arguing with laws of physics, but then I remembered something Mark Twain said.

I think your Confucius quote says it all.

That's only the tip of the iceberg.

Just out of interest, here's the current chart for the performance of our ISA funds.



We currently now have £70k in the 7IM and £133k in the Rathbones.

When they were recently both at their high points, they would have been worth c. £74k and £167k (if we had as many units in each as we now have)

So for now we're sitting tight with what we have - shrunken nuts!!!!

We haven't looked at the pension pot figures yet....I'm leaving that joyous task for month end.

7IM has been a poor performer.
