I hummus, therefore I am ...
I take it that's a light bulb under that and not a naked flame ?
Really?There aren't any heated rooms at sleepy-time night, ever. He wants to heat the bedroom so he doesn't have to get out of bed. You would not believe how much time that man spends playing games on that blooming tablet.

Energy prices are changingHi xxxxxx,
From 1 January, Ofgem is changing the unit rates for energy. These vary depending on where you live, your meter type, and how you pay for your energy.
We're decreasing our electricity unit rate from 33.859p to 33.698p per kWh and we're keeping our electricity standing charge the same at 52.643p per day.
We're keeping our gas unit rate the same at 10.425p per kWh and our standing charge at 28.484p per day.
Your prices are in line with the Government Energy Price Guarantee, which ensures a typical UK household pays an average of £2,500 per year. This will save a typical UK household around £900 this winter.
These prices all include VAT at 5%.
We've attached a letter with more information about your new unit rates and the Government Energy Price Guarantee discount.
Your monthly payment isn't changing
To make sure your payments are on track, we'll review your energy usage in the next 3 months and let you know if you need to change your monthly payments.
Just to warn you, we're expecting prices to increase in April
On 1 April the government's Energy Price Guarantee will be increasing to an average of £3,000 per year, which is £500 more per year for a typical household. From 1 April electricity customers will no longer receive £67 per month through the Energy Bills Support Scheme.
We'll be in touch in March, when we know exactly how much prices will increase.
I'm sure no one can beat this which I had in a letter from EDF:

Meanwhile a relative's EON account that I manage is going up meaningfully:

donkyboy any updates on the flowerpot heater ?
Have you tried larger flowerpots?Its alright when I'm right next to it. But not enough impact to really make much difference. I would need probably 10 of them grouped together. Much better suited to a very very small room or maybe caravan. My bedroom is too big.
larger tealights?Have you tried larger flowerpots?

What might work could be using a large propane burner instead of a tea light and a metal drum instead of a flower pot
Yesterday was our biggest electricity usage day this year. 27.3kWh gone in one day Purely down to how cold it is outside, so can’t be avoided.
Don't want to mess about with tea lights though I refer you to my propane burner solution above
We are at the mercy of the weather this time of year. I’m hoping for a milder jan and feb because December has been suckyI was averaging around 20kHw of gas use for the first 6 days of December, then this 10 day long cold snap happened, and that shot up to around 40kWh per day, peaking on the three coldest days at between 50-55kHw, costing 10.3p per kWh, I don't want too many days like that.
