Since the weather has been milder, I'm trying to understand how if I reduce the flow temperature of the central heating system I can afford to have the heating on for longer at a lower cost. Surely its as broad as its long? I'm not even certain we can tolerate the effects of reduction. Certainly, when we had the recent freezing temperatures we struggled to get warm no matter how long the heating was on for.

Last month I took full advantage of paying my bill by direct debit at an agreed monthly amount. I had no real choice but to do so. I hope to claw back costs over the summer months when we have a better idea of what help might be available. Previously I had been paying the full monthly cost on receipt of the bill but our usage has increased over the month & I saw it as a way to stall paying those bigger bills pronto. As to whether I can off set my winter bills over the summer months it's all 'swings & roundabouts' in my reckoning. Need a degree in mathematics to figure it all out or at least an interest in numbers & I hate all things numerical & I've only got a GCSEs grade!? Sigh!!!! So tired of this lark!!!
