To be sick of not being able to afford the heating on

Thankfully no children involved.

We are yet to have any form of heating on this autumn/winter as we just cannot afford the bill. We only have central heating, no fire. I'm currently sat in a t-shirt, thick jumper, dressing gown, jeans, 2 pairs of socks, and slippers and I've got a hot water bottle and I'm frozen. The thought of another 4 months of this makes me want to cry.

I thought the guy on YouTube used a roasting tin mrselgar? I don't have a ceramic pot so used three tea lights by themselves. It did take the edge off the cold but I didn't feel toasty.

My house is even colder now as the boiler has packed in. Good job I have a British gas contract. They were out within 2hours but have to come back today with a load of parts (stupid boiler was leaking mucky water). The electric fire is on, much to the joy of the cats who are dozing in front if it!
