Aww!Cant afford to be warm at home anymore.

Know what you mean!
Wonder if there is anyone on here who hasn't done anything to reduce costs of leccy or gas?
We sure have.

I have done what I can and I am tracking the usage closely.Aww!

I am not a big energy user, especially at this time of the year but the one unneccessary thing I have cut out is having the telly on for a lot of the day - I am not even in the room but it does give me the feeling that I am not alone. Now I make the dogs suffer by talking to them instead.Aww!

At current usage it is costing £60-65 per week, in this very mild weather.
But, looking at previous winters the usage was 4 times this amount in terms of KWh consumed per day; so that is a bit scary as it means £240/week or £960/Month in Winter.
It's a Mossy 590 with a cut arrow to block the magazine to a capacity of 2 rounds, as per Colorado small game regulations.
Edit: Using #6 shot w/cylinder bore at proper range there in no pink mist involved. I jumped 4 bunnies. 2 were too small and 2 were too fast. No rabbits were injured for this post.
Yep, sounds like you might be heating a valley there. But then there is "open a crack" and open wide. and if the room door(s) is shut, less of a prob. We do the same on warm days so the doggies can come in and out. But when it's colder no, they have to ask!I am not a big energy user, especially at this time of the year but the one unneccessary thing I have cut out is having the telly on for a lot of the day - I am not even in the room but it does give me the feeling that I am not alone.

I do have the oil-fired central heating on low, just to keep the house 'not cold' although I think that plan is negated by me leaving the rear patio doors always open unless the rain is coming in that direction.
I leave most indoor doors open all the time and the patio door is at least half open. Having said this, I do have thermo valves on all radiators and vary them according to the use of each room.Yep, sounds like you might be heating a valley there.

You could always have the radio on? Or is the signal for that not good where you are?
Do you have DAB?
W listens to Radio 4 Extra a lot.
It appears that way often.Jumping bunnies means something a little different this side of the pond

Spending time in this thread is like being in a waiting room full of old biddies

It's just me being soft-hearted! If the door is closed then one dog, who rarely comes in anyway, just goes to one of his many 'safe' hiding places and sleeps there for the next few hours. The other one, who never barks, just keep going from the back patio door round to the front patio doors and peers in in the hope/expectation that I will open that one. He is convinced that shutting it was just a momentary lapse of memory on my part.You need to close that door. Nice sunny days no problem, not sure you get many of them tho this time of year.
The dogs will soon learn, Ours would get closed at a certain point in the year and he learnt to give a little bark to go out and come back in when he wanted.
He had a basket with blanket outside too, which only came in if it was raining.
They will soon adapt to your habits.

DAB is digital radio, you can get it on a special radio or possibly on the telly or your pooter.I leave most indoor doors open all the time and the patio door is at least half open. Having said this, I do have thermo valves on all radiators and vary them according to the use of each room.
DAB radio - what's that? I do get a signal for R4 on LW but that seems to be of variable quality according to the time of day.
Ours just stand at the patio door scratching the glass. Scratch, wait, scratch again. Like the japanese (or is it Chines?) water torture! It works!You need to close that door. Nice sunny days no problem, not sure you get many of them tho this time of year.
