So cold right now, so conscious of the cost of gas and electricity, was out all day and evening yesterday so had no heating on in the house, got in straight to bed for us both, my son with two quilts and a snoody, I just had the regular one blanket my feet felt like ice but got to sleep after a hour or so, woke up this morning 11 degrees in the house had to put the heating on at 6am. By 8am the meter was reading over £6! The house was 17 degrees, heating off and sat in a cold house again, pjs dressing gown and blanket, I work from home but can’t afford to have a warm home to work in, will have to put the heating on again in a bit for my son, and it’s only the start of winter, it’s going to get a lot worse than this and no one seems to care or wants to do anything about it.
