Octopus Energy are having a free hour of electricity today, so I turned the heat pump and electric heater on just now. It got down to 19.5 in the morning, which is far too cold for me...

Oooh what did you do with the glorious hour?

Being a scrooge in a house which has all the thermal efficiency of a pile of wet cardboard, my thermostat is set at 18 (and occasionally creeping up to 19) anyway.

I'm just glad that things are finally cooling down to a more civilised temperature...
