    Aberdeen - cold - flipping thought about putting heating on the past three nights since temps dropped down again.
    Same here up north, not really enjoying a cold house when the nightime temperature outside is 10C and the sun is hiding. Been very tempted to put heating on too but have so far stopped myself. Have had warm drinks, blanket on and hot cherry stone bag instead.
    From Oct I will be payng £230 a month to cover annual usage but I have fixed electric and on tracker for gas. Without that it would be a lot more. I have been using 2400 electric and 11500 gas 3 bed end terrace northern Scotland, although I think this has come down a bit as I am very conscious of use now due to cost. I suspect reducing shower time has helped most. There are ways to save for sure.
    10C? Luxury! 😉
    A couple nights ago, it got down to -1C not too far from me (also Northern Scotland)! In August... :o
