Shocking !

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

With respect Mark, that seems rather a lot!

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 :-)

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.

I can relate to that. Totally agree

Yup ... me too ... we currently pay £112 pcm by direct debit to 'Scottish Power'.

................................................... ... which I feel ought to be adjusted to make allowances for not using the gas central heating at all for the whole summer.

That does seem a lot Arthur. I paid just over £50 for my gas from mid May to mid August this year but that's for a flat. During the main winter months it was about £150.

older people feel the cold more, also remember Arthur is at home nearly 24/7 while me and you work and are out of the house for 8hrs+ a day

[Ako Si Jamie]

And the rest.

Valid point though. Wasn't aware Arthur had retired. Thought he was only about 53.
