12 rooms wow that's alot are you including the aring cupboard, thought our place was big
Guess now you have TRVs you best turn 6-8 of them off. I would love 8ft ceilings if only to not have to get the step ladder out to change lights.

We have lots of windows but with 33mm DG and have insulated the outside on 3 walls. No cavities.

This has made me count our rooms, LOL.
Lounge, dining room, kitchen, utility, bog, study. then upstairs, 4 bedroooms, two baths, so 12, snap!
not counting hall, landing or airing cupboard. All full, lots with toot, how can two peeps have to empty a bedroom to make it available to guests?
Mad!

3 proper bedrooms, 2 studies ('is-n-'ers), 2 bathrooms, Lounge, Dining Room, Kitchen/Breakfast room, Utility room, Downstairs bog, + Hall & Landing. It all adds up.
But the heat all sits at the top of each room while your feet freeze! LOL The TRV's are down at 1 in all rooms we aren't using and only get turned up if we have guests staying in them.
According tothe Energy Co. I use twice what neighbouring properties use (beats me how).

...I just got a call from the 'orspital.
Having had 2 myocardial perfusion tests of the ticker already this month they just called and now want me in for an ECG on Saturday the 26th.
I wonder if the Perfusion test has thrown something up?
Curious and Curiouser. Well at least they are being thorough.

If I am allowed to go out alone I do charge it and leave it on until I get home. That’s when it gets put on the table and runs flat till the next time.

To let it go flat do you leave it on or not? If I left mine on it'd go down sure, but I switch it off and it seems to hold charge incredibly well.

The only time I turn it off is when I get on a plane, or know I have no signal.

I joke a bit it does get charged but is often flat.
