Is it because you live in a castle like your name suggests?
I wish
Our house is over 100 years old with a dodgy roof so probably scores pretty poorly on the energy efficiency scale.
Also I have a wife who grew up in a hot climate and has very poor tolerance for low temperatures.
I grew up in a house where my mum would have the bedroom window open overnight in all weathers and you could sometimes see the breath in front of your face when you woke up even if you were still nice and cosy underneath the duvet. That and consistently being the first kid in school to come in wearing shorts (February is fine for that apparently) and I am almost impervious to cold now.
Don’t need to tell you who wins the thermostat battle in my house!
Not you!My house is much of the same, my wife basically can’t stand the cold either so tomorrow is not a good day for me!
I’ve ordered electric blankets for all the beds (only a single one for the double bed my wife and I have) and we are committed to not having heating on overnight.
It can turn on at 0600 and warm the place up for the morning.
The money we have wasted in the past makes me want to puke. We can’t afford to do the same thing now!

What ones did you buy ?
I went with the dreamcatcher ones.
not selected by anything more scientific than Amazon reviews. They should arrive on Monday .
It claims 2p per hour usage although that has probably gone up a bit recently but I figure turn them on for 30 mins before you get in then turn them off again once you are in and then all good.
hopefully!
Doubt it will materialise but could truss survive that... I'm not sure she could
Can't see 35 conservatives working with labour
I bought an IKEA padded throw/blanket in 2008 that is pretty huge, fits well over the bed down to the floor. We stick that on over our duvet and it's so warm in the bed we don't need the heating on.
The secret is wool bedsheets. We always forget the bedsheets.
Good call. Sleeping on top of another duvet works too
I found turning it up before going to bed then down to 1 or 2 the best if you're using them as the only heat for sleeping. Turning it off meant waking up at 3am for me as it still gets cold quickly. I've found mine using below 2p per hour though.
At one point I might have believed there'd be enough sensible Tory MPs to pull that off but not now.
Step in as party leader before the next GE? Gets to claim its a fresh brush and all that nonsense and despite it being bull shit people will buy it.
"I like Boris. He nearly died from Covid. He got all the big calls right. He was funny on the BBC 20 years ago. He knows Latin."
Ahh the good old days with Boris.

Incredible work force planning as usual. I wonder if the pitiful pay and work conditions have anything to do with it.
I bet they'll refuse to debate it and say "we've already responded directly to it" with this;
"The UK is a Parliamentary democracy and the Conservative Party remains the majority party. The Prime Minister has pledged to ensure opportunity and prosperity for all people and future generations."

Bring Back Bastard Boris?
Bring Back Bastard Boris?
what are the odds of a real 'she's finished" moment at the conference? Could we see some actual theatrics to really try and kill her off? A Bojo cultist rushing the stage telling her to resign etc etc?
this is exactly what I think will happen - a couple more bad interviews or feck ups from Truss and I suspect he’ll be back as soon as Easter
We have been living in a fool's paradise with our welfare state. It has to go.

This is the United Kingdom
As much as I dislike the monarchy you have to say he is right.
“Greeted by an individual who threatened me with a mugging”
Because people threaten each other with a good mugging all the time.
I keep saying this like a broken record but we need to be on the streets and not stopping until these cnuts are gone!
It’s the last power grab of a corrupt leadership knowing their time dipping in to the nation’s proverbial cookie jar is up, so they’re going for every last red cent they can get their grubby little paws on.
