    We found that we were leaving the hot water tank on and heating a tank full of water back up to max temperature every night.  But we were only having showers/baths every few days.  Now we plan when we are having showers and only turn the tank on the night before.  Actually there is enough on the tank for two showers the next day and two short ones that are quite hot enough the next day.  It's now on maybe 1 day out of every 5.  I reckon this would save us about £250 per year at current prices.
    Good energy saving tip, but I find the thought of not having even a v quick shower daily pretty repulsive. It doesn't need to be long and luxurious, but daily washing is not something I am prepared to skip. I'd also rather not know if the person sitting next to me on a train does.
    No man is worth crawling on this earth.

    So much to read, so little time.
