compromise with DH about the heating

DH doesn't want to put the heating on and the house is freezing. He says gas costs too much money now due to "the torys" or whatever

I do..

Is it worth putting it on for a few hours in the evening only or is it not efficient?

Good for you for blocking.

Confused A fucking PIN on the heating controls? What fresh hell is this?

That's the thread I was referring to. Someone apparently claimed they couldn't turn the heat on because their husband hadn't given them the PIN. I (IMO, rightly) asked: How would any of us know the PIN? What do you expect us to do?

Exactly! What is the point of these threads? And why are they on AIBU? Confused

We are trying to minimise it obviously because of the cost, but we are currently putting it on for an hour in the morning & an hour in the evening. It's still fcking freezing.

£5 a day to keep a 2500sqf home at 21 degrees 24 hours a day?
Those numbers don’t sound remotely normal.

I was surprised too! I am so surprised I am checking again tomorrow and next week 🤣

But yes it seems to be. Feel like I am jinxing myself now 😬

Keep us updated @LemonSwan !

LemonSwan · 26/11/2022 00:34

Will do. Fingers crossed 🤞

@NewBootsAndRanty

😱 Nope it’s not £5 it’s 12.50 a day!!!!!!!!

I am starting experimenting. Have turned the flow temperature down to 60c and hopefully the condenser will recycle more. I think the main issue is we are running two boilers and ones old, knackered, pumping out 24/7 on 2 bars and is currently leaking. Obviously not working efficiently at all!!! Plumber can’t come to switch it over until Jan. Might have to abandon that side of the house. Will keep you updated.

Shock LemonSwan!

Best of luck with getting it fixed. Fingers crossed you get a cancellation or something and it happens sooner rather than later.
