Has anyone put their central heating on yet?

[pride in battle]

Only boil kettle once a day. Fill a flask with that hot water to last the day. Don't wash pots every day. I live alone so only do them when I run out of cutlery and plates. Don't shower every day (nobody has complained I smell) As a kid we had a bath on a Sunday night. Every other day was a strip wash. Only wash clothes when I run out of clean socks and un derwear.

That sounds worse than prison...

Our heating kicked in for the grand total of 20 mins the other night ( temp went under 16'c which is where we have it set to come on ). Cost us over £5!.

We currently have blankets and Hot water bottles in the evening when it gets chilly.

I feel sorry for the nurses, giving me a shower must be the highlight of the day, they’ll miss me :-)))

Poor them lol, are you going back to recover or will you be going home after ? X

Yep, Im hoping that it was actually a lot longer burning gas than our hive thermostat suggested.

My flat is great with floor to ceiling windows and panoramic views but WOW, is this leccy bill gonna be big this winter!

The (electric) heaters are wifi controlled and on the app I can see how much energy they use. The biggest radiator is in my living room and uses 1.5kwh each morning initially just to get to 20 degrees for half an hour or so. There are 4 other electric heaters in the flat...
