I only have 2 legs and even that is awkward visiting the toilet
Sounds like there's no point in you having a thermostat at all. If it ever reaches temperature, all the radiators will have already switched off.20 but there are so many other factors to consider. Our thermostat is near the front door, so possibly the draughtiest place in the house. All the radiators have thermostatic valves and the one near the thermostat is set to the lowest setting.

It just sounded like the radiator near the thermostat would switch off before the thermostat switches off.That kind of assumes that all rooms are thermostatically sealed.
I like the sound of that. I have a couple of remote thermostats, and the downstairs one isn't triggering the system (low battery I assume), so I've taken in upstairs, and kind of doing things manually until I come up with a plan.We have a Tado Smart thermostat, which now works beautifully, the house is only heated when someone comes home and we never have to touch the controls.

Yes I didn't explain things that clearly first time.

We set ours at 19 with no timer to come on whenever it drops below that but when sitting around watching tv turn it up to 21 or we both put our onesie on. Problem solved. £15 on ebay is cheaper than increased heating bills.
As an end of year treat can we please see a picture of you in your onesie.............I'm sure everyone on here would just love to see this.....
Ban yourself for 7 days!!
Come on....you know its been a long time fantasy of yours!
I got fed up with my bills last year and made four key changes.
Cavity Wall Insulation (We were losing a lot of heat through the South and West facing walls)
Tado Smart Thermostat
Big Community Energy Switch
Bought a Dehumidifier (one room was suffering from condensation)
Having kept my monthly duel fuel direct debits at the same level (£152) we are currently over £600 in credit. This could fall over the next few months, but my total outlay was £750 and the house is always warm.
Indeed.You're meant to have at least one radiator without a thermostatic valve on. Preferably the one nearest the thermostat.
Think it's partly due to a North facing bedroom exposed to the weather and never getting any sun to help warm it, especially in winter.
