Just checked, Eon estimate my annual gas usage for the year as 2624 kwh and electric as 1187 kwh.

Do I win a prize?

Yes, for the coldest house in the UK. 😀😀😀😀😀

Haha, it is well insulated, but I just don't feel the cold.  I put the heating on when my partner is over, but she is "freezing" even when it is 18c, so we are at opposite ends of the spectrum.

It is 14c in my living room at the moment and although I don't feel toasty, I don't think it is cold.

I am outdoors a lot, and cycle in all weathers, so when I come in from 5c outside to 15c inside (for instance) it feels like heaven.  I guess it is just what ever you are used to.

When my missus complains I've put the heating on I always refer to the legal lower temperature limit for workplaces, which is 16C. Some things from work do carry over to retirement.

Haha, I'm definitely using that one, thanks!

I will put the heating on afterwards though, but I just want to see the look on her face first! :  )

In our house, it's the other way round!!   

I'm at the 'hot flush' stage of life and DH has no extra "insulation", so feels the cold.

End of another month, and things are ticking along.  

Not much to update really, sorry.   

Figures remain "robust", and the plan unchanged.

Totally unrelated to retirement but I need to sort out my snoring if possible otherwise OH has said she'll ban me from the main bedroom!

A CPAP machine will shut you up - see your GP about sleep apnoea. Does she notice you stop breathing at all during the night, then suddenly starting again with a snort? Or the spare room, so you both get a good night's sleep. Much better than being tired and grumpy with each other in the mornings.

I don't think it's apnoea as I've not been told I stop breathing. I actually sleep quite well - apart from when she pokes me. LOL!!
