NO mate I keep the heating at 21 degrees c all the time if it gets too hot, I just wear a tee shirt and shorts.

The good old lightbulb isn't making a comeback in my house 'cos it's never been away!!

For years I've been buying them in bulk off E-bay and Amazon - about £6 for 10.

cobblers.our living room is heated solely by the chandelier with 50 60watt halogens. the radiators are just for drying washing.

So the Meter By-pass was worth doing? :wink_smile:
