Nope, I'll get £20-£30 tops and a pair of slippers lol. It's cool though, it's all about my bairn and I don't expect anything off anyone as a rule.
My fluffy blanket will do

Just checked there, they're quite pricey as £60 is more than a week's shopping money tbh xx I have an unheated fluffy throw, think I need to dig it out asap
You can get an electric heat pad for about £20. I use one tucked behind my back when I'm sitting and it keeps me warm.

What would you say the thermostat should be on to avoid these problems?

It’s probably costing you more letting the temperature run down so low rather than it warming up 1-2 degrees more often if you keep it more stable

So what’s the consensus with regards to minimum temperature inside the house before the heating should go on in terms of efficiency?
At the minute mine is set at 18 degrees between 6-8 then down to 12 during the day then back to 18 from 5-7 then back down to 12.
Is this inefficient? Right now its 4 degrees outside and house is at 16 so it’ll have to heat up 2 degrees to reach setpoint.

Got mine on 17 all the time. Takes the edge off. I've always worn jackets, hats in the house in winter rather than have the heat blasting.
Fantastic, if you can afford it.
On the other hand When the prepayment meter disconnects the gas when the credit is gone its tough luck for many.
How much gas a day does that use, out of interest?

Sitting at home with a coat and hat on to keep warm is ridiculous. Not aimed at you as such, more the fact we have people living like that in the UK.

Am I being a complete meth or is there not a simple calculator out there which can show your daily usage and cost? Each one I have seen you have to convert into cubic this and that. You can see your previous meter reading on the app, there should be a simple tool where the user doesn't have to get involved in billing days and so on.
Like I say could just be being a meth

you reckon? been tempted to stick it on 17 and keep an eye on the gas meter. thing is our house is absolutely shite at holding heat so imagine it would turn itself on loads
