Yep, I try not to use my phone for checking through the day too but it doesn't always turn out that way. I play Words though, when I'm on 'down time'

Largest screen I've seen is 14 inches  admittedly I'd want bigger than that but I spose that's the compromise

thing is, I won't allow them to reduce my payments. I pay the same winter and summer and know I have enough on to run my gas all day everyday and still have a rebate at the end of it. I never switch my gas off, it costs more on a timer than running it at a constant temp

 I do the same as Dame ...use the thermostat as the regulator ....much more economical than turning it on and off

yes may try it  - mine is rarely on unless I override it - been brill

But you's are in the house all day, I'm not and I can't see the point of heating an empty house?

it's not rocket science Baz...if the house is cold the boiler is working harder to get the temp up...constant temp it clicks on now and again to keep it at a steady temp

Then you just turn the thermostat down before you go out

I keep it at 21 ish...I drop it to 18 if I go out and sometimes I don't even bother as it won't click on anyway.
