Brrrrr

It's so cold this week. Anyone else feeling it?

Before I could do without central heating and just warm wool clothes. Now I really have to use blanket...

Trying to go without heating this winter as a test.

Trying to keep heating costs low is OK. But trying to go without heating altogether can be very dangerous. (especially for the elderly). Many elderly should remember that the £200 winter fuel allowance is not intended to be used for spending on other things.

The £200 will cover all my energy costs over the coldest months.

deepcore I wasn't replying to YOU I was speaking generally. You said you were going to try to go without heating all winter (I was asked what I thought of this), and I said it could be dangerous especially for the elderly.

davidstockport I know, I'm just saying generally that I'm not even halfway to retirement, in response to the elderly comment mate.
