Things I need to look at going forward:
- Foil reflectors on the radiators on the outside walls
- Shelves above radiators in rooms with windows
- Cavity wall insulation - big one this, and I should stop faffing about and get it done, especially before the winter with a baby on the way
- Shop at local farmer's markets, and change the "shop for local products" from sometimes to often. Hopefully we're already on the way to doing this with the help of the allotment.
- Lag the hot water pipes (I need to double-check this as it may have already been done, but my gut instinct is that it hasn't)
- Buy that energy saving plug for the fridge freezer - we inherited it from the previous owners, and while it's only a grade C energy efficiency, it seems wasteful to ditch it for a more energy efficient model, especially if this plug (costs less than £25) could help make a difference
- Switch to a water meter. We're already careful with water, but I need to prepare two separate areas of the house before they'll come and fit the meter thanks to the fact the outside loo is on a different circuit to the rest of the house
