    i live in a small house so no idea how the hell I’ve managed that.

    And presumably the OP posted to learn how their energy use compared with others'. 
    I think I am more interested on whether or not people.have managed to cut down on their usage. I thought that in Dec I had cut down loads, but instead it was only about 10%.

    Just had a look at temperatures for December 2021 and 2022 - In 2021, had 9 days below 0°C, and 2022, just 7. The graphs would indicate that 2021 was slightly colder on average for me..

    Any language construct that forces such insanity in this case should be abandoned without regrets. –
