Bonkers!

I know this is a very British subject but how bonkers is this weather. We've been working out in the garden repairing the wind damaged screens but also strimming down the grass that has grown really fast over the past few weeks.

It's so mild today and the suns out so Toon towers is running on solar energy, which when you think about it, for 5 days to Christmas really is mad. I have got the wood burner going just to keep the temperature constant in the house. Because we're all electric if the house gets too cold it's a bugger to get warm again and costs a fortune!

My mum and dad have just bought an all electric and are going through the pains we had but they do have an existing heating system. They have the old fashioned storage heaters that to be fair chuck out some serious heat, however there seems little control over the temperature. They've had to switch 2 of the heaters off.

They're looking at changing their panel heaters to the Rointe heaters (http://rointe.co.uk/corporate/delta-heating-system/) we have them in our house but the newer version which can be controlled via an app (so much better than the remote control version). We've found them to be really good and the beauty is when you're renovating a house you can move them around until your ready and then hard wire them in.

We know they are energy efficient but definitely helped by the mad mild December. Our electric bill was nearly £100 less than 2014!

Just realised how long this post took to go up, bit word but worth a read!
