First thing in the morning fill a large thermos flask with boiling water and use it throughout the day for coffee/tea etc. It's less hassle than filling and boiling a kettle every time and saves energy.
And you feel virtuous, which is a reward in itself.
 
I'm not leaving anything on standby. Turn all the sockets I can off at night. It looks like that from October I'll be the only one working from home -son has moved our, daughter will have a new job that she has to go to. So I'm going to heat the human not the house. Wear more layers and not put the heating on just for me. Or I could just go into the office. Need to weigh up 35 mile round trip every day against energy consumption while I'm at home.

Depends on the layout and which way the windows face, I believe? My entire flat is south-facing in all rooms, so heat is never a problem lol Blackout blinds are a must though, otherwise you die of heat stroke in the current 30-40C heatwaves.

Work in the local library? Image you'll need to queue though.

@emir you can graduate from Jebus University in a 10 class intense session 'the battle room' and learn away your negativity and I will teach you open your beta blockers so you can become a true Alpha.

After £3000 battle room you should be ready for the Jebus gospels, exclusive for a hand picked few, where for £20000 you can learn how to move beyond Alpha into Apex.

On topic, the more Apex a man you are the more women you'll attract, the more bodies together in a single place the hotter you'll be - more tips like this available in my monthly newsletter 'Je-bites'.

Just an old fella thinking of ways to save money , household bills flying up. What are your tips ?.

My main one has been driving within the speed limit and not going over 2000 rpm. I drive an Astra van. Yes, it can be boring, but on average I'm saving about 15% to 20% in my costs.

The other big one is a packed lunch for work, I have always done it but Mrs B never did, a roll,fruit and a coffee she'd spend up to 10 euro a day.I have her on board now. You can buy in the supermarkets a weeks lunch for easily 20 Euro.take a jar of coffee into work,sorted.

I know , plenty fellas rolling their eyes at this thread but if I was to say the money saved by my frugal ways has paid for my trip to the Leicester City game. flights,hotel, ticket, food and drink.might stop and think.

Bit of a shocker though, a dishwasher is cheaper than washing stuff in a bowl according to Google wish I'd read that back in January !.

More tips anyone ?.
