How to live without heating - save £000s
Comments

As reported on the radio, temperatures have suddenly dropped. Until this evening, I was doing OK with what I previously mentioned I was wearing. But tonight I realised I was starting to feel cold at home. When I looked at a thermometer downstairs, it indicated 6C probably due to an oversized air vent. Upstairs it is still 10C. So I added genuine down trousers and a second down jacket. Within a few minutes I was feeling perfectly warm again. The down jackets are both from Millets shops, most recently priced at only £29 - an absolute bargain.1

House is below ten degrees this morning, which is noticeably colder than above (for me). Turned my halogen heater on for fifteen minutes (it is under my desk) just to warm up after my invigorating 6am cold water shower. Our glorious government has reinstated the WFP which arrived in my bank today but will try to hold off turning the gas back on at the meter until December, the £200 should let me run the CH for a few hours a day for three months (heating two of the four rooms in my detached bungalow) but also ordered a heated vest from Aliexpress for less than £20, which has a 90 day free return. Already have some battery banks. Just to cheer everyone up, we are about due for a severe winter based on past cycles but global warming may have changed things a bit, impossible to tell. Once I have had my two hot coffees and Keto-friendly high protein breakfast I will do 30-40 minutes on my cross-trainer, which gets me nicely warmed up.2
