    What a waste of money using the central heating. You soon get used to lower temperatures.

      I have instructed Jenkins to stoke the boiler every four hours. My contribution to lessening my carbon foot print is that I have given him a smaller shovel.

        17ish with only the radiators on in the rooms I use.

        Turn it down if i light the fire.

        Heating still has to come on yet.

          I'm thinking of putting a 2nd thermostat in the cupboard under the stairs and rewiring the system so the original is just a dummy for the wife to switch to max when ever she walks past.

          Genius or what.

              My plan B is selling self-heating thermometers.

                I turned the pilot light out too.

                It normally only takes 3 or 4 days to get it to relight.

                That's when the frost is on the inside of the double glazing.
                It's a shame we can't send light down your super efficient fibre optic cables and pipe light into homes from the sahara.
