We don't have the option as we have no central heating - the sitting room fire has a back boilder which runs a couple of radiators but that's it. Extra layers are our only choice really! _________________ When I married Mr. Right, I didn't realise his first name was Always ...
Because we are over 60,we are on staywarm with Eon we pay a set amount each month by DD for gas and electric and you don't get another bill, they do read the meter, and can increase your payment but only at the end of the year.
Sounds like a very good scheme, Jojo. Fire plus central heating here tonight. Our forecast says tomorrow warmest temp is minus two, coldest minus seven.

My parents and grandparents used to believe that if you weren't warm enough indoors, you put extra layers on. These days it seems to me people just turn up the central heating. Tonight we have opted for the first choice. The fire is picking up slowly and chucking out heat, so outside is minus two but inside is about twelve degrees. We are nice and warm in our layers, and still resisting the urge to turn on the heat.
Are we odd to do this, or does anyone else do the same?
Wow. That conjures up a lovely scene. What a wonderful way to spend a sleepy evening. You should make the most of it and roast some chestnuts/crumpets. Yummie. x
No choice here, this house goes with the job, and we have those ****** night storage heaters. Warm in the morning when we don,t need the heat, by 9pm I,me freezing.
In our old house, it was a rayburn, a wood burner, and extra layers.
I know which I prefer.
