It's that time of year again. The clocks will be going back soon, the nights are drawing in and after our delightful few days of Indian Summer weather the temperature is beginning to drop. As such that question, that huge question starts to rear its ugly head....
"Shall we put the heating on?"
I'm sure for most people that decision is made purely on how cold they are, in this house however money is ALWAYS an issue, and the difference between a Summer and Winter gas bill is around £75, not a small amount by any stretch of the imagination, and that was before this year's price hikes from all the energy suppliers. In our case, the first stirrings of the question are met with the closing of doors and windows, and the bolting shut of the garage door to stop any drafts.
The next step is the Adding Of The Layers which is the step we reached today. The trusty fluffy socks are on, as is a nice comfy cardie type thing.
There are many more steps in The Resistance, including blankets to wrap up in, candles lit, curtains closed and the bigger duvet, but for now The Resistance is strong, and we shan't be giving in anytime soon - barring snowstorms of course!!
