How many kWH of gas have you used today?

For context:

Outside it's 1 C. Guess it was quite cold last night.
Small flat, and about 11 - 12 C in the flat over night.
Cavity wall insulation, single glazing with secondary glazing

So it started from 12 C and it's now about 18 C

Used about 40 kWH so far.

I don't know if that's a lot or not. Boiler is quite old so not sure how efficient it is.

What is the cost of 40KWh does anyone know?

About £4 on the svr, I think.

We had it on about 12 last night - so might just try it a bit warmer to see the effect in the morning.

What temperature do people have their thermostat set to overnight?

We have our heating turned off overnight.
Our daily usage is about 25kwh. We have the hot water on 3 times a day, total about 3 1/2 hours, central heating on in the evening for about 1 1/2 hours, that's the norm. We have the grandchildren here so we've put the heating on for longer for them but I'm boiling!
3 bed semi, well insulated, cavity wall insulation, double glazed. 2 adults here, windows upstairs constantly on the night vent.
