I was talking with a friend the other week who said they leave their central heating on all the time because they had been advised it was cheaper. The same applied to their hot water heating system which, “costs much more to heat up from cold than to maintain at a constant temperature”.
Is it best to leave the central heating and hot water on all the time?

The worst album covers ever
May 24, 2008 By Leave a Comment
This isn’t so much useful as interesting (if you are that way inclined) There have been some truly awful album covers produced over the years and here’s a collection of them. Some of them are just rubbish, but some are so bad they are funny and it’s hard to believe some of them are real but they are.
Positive thinking
May 14, 2008 By 1 Comment
I’ve been practising my own version of a positive thinking philosophy for a few years now. It’s not based on anything I’ve read, it’s just something I developed as I’ve recognised that many of the events I think are bad for me actually turn out to be good. The same thing happens to everyone else too. It took a couple of years for it to become second nature to me, but now that it is I’m even more chilled than I naturally was anyway. I don’t tend to get upset about most of the negative things that happen and realise that time may well uncover something very positive in them.

Me and my bitch
May 4, 2008 By Leave a Comment
We entered the pet shop having decided to buy a cat, and came out with a dog. Don’t ask me what happened it was a long time ago. She was mostly, but not entirely, border collie. She had a beautiful coat which was black, white, brown and grey, a really cute face and a price tag of just £6.00. We named her Lassie, and to this day, I can’t believe I was so unimaginative as to call her that.
