How are you saving electricty and gas?

I have to admit to laziness on my part, but I only wash-up once a day after breakfast. It does make it easier that I'm a widow as I know that would have driven my husband nuts.
Another thing I do to cut down is to cook everything on 1 ring of gas. i.e. yesterday I boiled some potatoes and then put a colander on top which held the salmon fillet and some asparagus tips. I have been known to put sliced carrots and broccoli in the same saucepan as the potatoes. Again it's done to save on washing up, but it also helps with energy costs.
I do feel the cold but in the afternoon when I'm on my laptop, I wrap my self in a thick throw and warm a heat wrap in the microwave. This keeps me warm for a good hour before it has to be reheated.
I don't know of any other tips to pass on, I have never used a tumble dryer, dry everything outside, or a dishwasher, my washing machine and fridge freezer were bought about 4 years ago and are rated A+.

This is an interesting thread and useful too. Thanks Grandtante

One thing not on my economising list is charging up my iPad. It’s been a very good friend to me in the last two years ?

I work from home and need small quantities of hot water from time to time. I fill a flask with boiling water to save running the hot tap for ages before it gets hot.
So…. I save 2 things at once. Do I get a prize?

Start your day when it gets light and go to bed earlier. I’m way too fond of staying in bed and then sitting up at night.

I’ll try to practice what I preach?

I've been using a collapsible drier when I can't put washing out instead of the electric drier. It was only convenience to have them dry within an hour but when you think about it, you don't really need them straight away and they're usually dry next day anyway. I also use my slow cooker a lot instead of putting the oven on and freeze what I don't use for another time. We also make sure nothing is on stand by and only ever fill the kettle with enough to make a pot full of tea. If nothing else, this is making us all think harder about wasting power

Use the microwave more. Even with a basic one you can steam vegetables in minutes instead of boiling water and cooking them.
If you do have the oven on, add some potatoes to at least part cook to eat as jackets for another meal.
Wear fleecy tights under your trousers and thermal underwear tops, although I find they needs washing more frequently, so I had to buy extra or it wouldn’t have been more economical.
I turned thermostats down in rooms I’m not using. It made a noticeable difference.

Thanks, G. I already practice some of your tips and I will try a couple of others. Good list.

As I live alone I have bought a combi oven. It always felt a bit wasteful putting one salmon fillet in my large gas oven.
Thanks for the other tips Grandtante
