people wanna keep ugrading their items even when they do last ...
constantly keep getting calls to upgrade smartphone for a newer smartphone .... it does what i want to do ... yes, but you can ugrade for no extra £££ ... i was told 'if you don't upgrade every year youre a freak and a damn loser ' that last line not really true  |

Make maximum use of daylight and don't heat your house for more than necessary. I am usually up at 7.00 in winter and 6.30 in summer and asleep by 9.30 which saves a lot of electricity and heating compared to the average household.

I always turn the heating down before we go to bed.
But not so much that the house will be cold when we get up in the morning. |

Dr. C. do you really leave heating on all night! Mine is on from 6.30 to 9.00 in the morning and 5-9 in the evening. Our old stone built house retains heat well but when it is very cold I just wear more clothes.

Yes I do leave the heating on all night sageform.
I eat very little animal products or much fat, so consequently I don't carry the usual stone or three of extra weight like most people do that keeps them warm. I feel the cold, so I keep the house warm all the time. Funny that, they tell us to eat less meat to cut down on emissions. Then we have to turn up the gas central heating to keep warm. But my decision about eating meat has got nothing to do with concerns about the environment or animal rights. |

Fair enough, I am not overweight and do feel the cold but can manage on the number of hours mentioned for central heating. My wife or I occasionally put on an electric fire in one room if we feel like it.
