Also personally I wouldn't have my heating on at night even if it was free. As the banging pipes and being in bed sweating is not nice . But as you say 18 isn't bad , my place gets down to 16 on average daytime winter. Now it sounds like your warmer than meLive on the breadline, don’t drink or smoke, gave up my season ticket a few years ago……
Live in a 1st floor flat and the temperature never falls below 18 degrees, I can live with that ……..one concession I put my electric blanket on for an hour before bed
Without sounding pedantic, I am not the one with the builder's bag . I've got jack shit and bakerdave73 has three. But I would imagine he means them one tonne sacks Travis perkins bring on the truck. But I would still be jealous if he had 3 carrier bags of dried hardwoodNo, genuine question, I’ve never heard that expression
You probably buy it by the cubic square metre or forest.No, genuine question, I’ve never heard that expression

Here you buy it by the cord or go and cut your own. We don’t have many hardwoods here so mainly pine or fir, not the best but plenty of it. I used to love cutting my own, have cut hundreds of trees down in the past (all dead standing) always a good day wandering through the forestYou probably buy it by the cubic square metre or forest.

Also, you can hunt for grouse at the same time, actually now I just do the latter part and buy the wood :)There is a peculiar pleasure, isn't there, to cutting your own wood in the autumn and then bringing it home, stacking it properly in a dry place, to keep yourself warm in the coming winter.

I'm guessing all the residents just leave their heating on all winter lolI've had my heating running on two or three occasions of late .... maybe for an hour or two, and then I turn it off again.
I live in a communal block and just pay a set amount each week for heating and hot water ..... so I can have the heating on for long periods of time and it doesn't cost any more.
