...that I've just felt obliged to put the central heating on, because I have guests who don't seem to be able to keep warm with six layers of clothes.

Dammit...just wasted a whole morning's gas !
The radiator in their room was set to 'off'.
well no heating on yet and i am still in my shorts too, keep busy and keep the gloves and hat on at all times
Its not cool to come across as a tight git you know The heating is set to 19.5 in our house and it comes on whenever it needs to. It has certainly been on the past few mornings and evenings. I would much prefer to be comfortable and pay a few quid a day.
I pay around £100 a month for electricity and gas, so around £3.30 a day. This is split 70% gas, 30% electricity = £2.30 of gas a day on average (obviously more in winter, minimal in summer with water and cooker heating). Well worth it IMO.
I wish mine was that...Heating £100 per month....electric £45... although my heating has been on for the last month or so
My heating is broken should be fixed today if the bloke comes with the right part.
But to keep my wife and stepdaughter warm I make them chop the logs for the fire
As life is to live so love is to give
I couldn't give a whether people think I'm cool or not, even though a lot of what I say is tongue in cheek and obviously meant in humour.
It's my money and I'll spend it wisely.
Probably why I don't owe anybody a penny, and everything I own is paid for.
Been there done that with all the flashy impress the friends and neighbours stuff.
It's 21C in my house, and we're all happy and comfy.
£207 a month here, and I haven't even put the heating on yet
Ours finally went on yesterday for the first time since (I think) April ... such, has the mercury dropped over the course of the past week.
I didn't mention Michael. ..that was when my good lady was here. ...like in the Philippines, she didn't wear clothes in the house, no matter what time of year. ...still, that's all a distant memory now
Yes I know, I spoilt her rotten.
Btw. .I'm not moaning here :-). ..I didn't have a problem paying that amount or her walking about near naked :-). .although she did put a top on while frying...as long as she was happy, that's all what mattered :-)
no heating on here
£160 per month NPower only been with them since I booted Scottish Power into touch in Feb. Looking at our readings / consumption paying ahead of the game I expect it to pan out at about £120 per month - fixed till Feb2015
I pay £40 for gas & £30 for electric per month and at the moment am £257 in credit, but having said that we only moved into this house beginning of April this year, I'm hoping the credit I've accumulated plus the £200 fuel allowance will suffice us through the winter, will keep you posted. I will point out we do wear appropriate clothing for indoor winter months and we have never felt cold indoors, also last winter I introduced Maritess to the famous Hot water bottle and to my surprise after about one week she never wanted it again.!
You may think the Philippines comparison isn't anything to do with this discussion but I think it is .....look at the endless brown outs lasting hours and sometimes days on end. ...and the extortionate charges. ...We had the same poor service in the 70s. ..I definitely wouldn't want to go back to those days ....folks forget those times. ..Some weren't born then but let me tell you. .It was a lot tougher then. ..you just didn't have the money to pay. ...nowadays folks just got to sacrifice a packet of fags to pay for that rise. .....as Ded already pointed out, Miliband was going to put the squeeze on us as well with his green policies ....so to say he would of capped the rises is a complete lie
You were lucky...
