Yet another cold Winter

[d000hg]

Bollocks, I'd rather be warm. You are bonkers, stick the heating on, you'll be lovely & toasty in to time.

Well you and DP are soft & pampered. I'd rather spend the cash elsewhere. Like single-malts.

Get a decent job and then you can afford both.

Just because you can afford something doesn't mean you should buy it.

Heating the whole 3-storey house is inefficient for one person. It's the principle of the thing, damnit.

13 now.

Umm... Why not just heat the room you're in?

WHS.

Set fire to a pile of paper money and cut out the middle man.

I can afford to run the heating. I choose not to. I could afford to leave all the lights and the TV on 24/7 and buy food to throw away as well... but why bother?

I do have a little oil radiator but it's a bit crap. The central heating doesn't have per-room settings - well I could turn off every single radiator but one during the day, then turn them back on at night...

12 degrees now. Unlike these softies though I solved the problem by putting on a jumper. Unless my fingers go numb what's the problem?

I tend to agree. It's not about the money as an extra £100-200 or so isn't important. The energy cos are taking the piss with their prices at the moment so am reluctant to hand over any more money than we have to.
I was given a halogen heater a while back. It heats up the living room quite nicely and I'm not lining the pockets of the incompetant energy cos by heating areas I'm not using. The central heating still comes on in the mornings - when it really matters.
Those on a tighter budget can light a few candles.

Each to his/her own.

Personally I like a warm home. Admittedly I'm only in it for 3 nights a week

Yes, and you've got something more interesting than central heating to keep you warm.
