Same here. Log burner is on every evening though. Dreading the next batch of wood, the price of that has gone through the roof as well

Here in Spain price of logs (mix of orange, olive etc) gone up about 15 euros a truckload mainly due to diesel delivery costs rising.
Biggest increase is wood pellets gone from about 4 euros to 7.5 / 8 euros a bag(15 kgs).

Butane gone from 14 euros a bottle to 20 euros a bottle.

Can you go out and cut your own? Here I can go into any National Forest area and get 4 cords for $25 and if I want more get another $25's worth

In my last property 4k Sq metres I did exactly that but the need to store a year to let the sun dry it out meant storage problems so my neighbour Diego who has mountains of dried out logs from his tree surgeon business sells it to all and sundry for about 150 euros a full lorry load which is more than enough for our shorter winter usually Jan and Feb.

I’ve put the smart meter away as you become quite obsessed with it.

I keep getting texts from our provider about us installing one. It must cost them a fortune in sending them out to everyone as I get one a week. I reckon they could knock a few quid off everyone's bills if they stopped bloody sending them!
 
Going to be getting bloody cold over the next week, I’m sure the gas companies will be rubbing their hands at this :(

Too much air in your system bleed all your radiators then top boiler pressure back up to 1.5 reset it and see how you get on
