Thanks for the tip Min and Bridget.
I will experiment with the heating controls and see how we go. Like you when we were both at work the heating was not on much.
If it works out very dear we will have to go back to how things were when I was a child. One coal fire, a hot water bottle in bed, liberty bodices, badly hand knitted sweaters and chilblains to name just a few of the discomforts.
Mind you on the other hand sipping hot ribena in front of the coal fire after crying because you had played snowballs too long and your hands were burning was good and having your (badly knitted) mittens and socks warmed on the fire guard before trudging to school was cosy.
As an only child I remember envying a friend who shared a bed with her sister as I knew if my cousin Jen came to stay we would cuddle up in bed for warmth. When she confided that her sister wet the bed every night my envy evaporated:)
Keep warm and well everybody Love from Gillxx
