Mea culpa

The utility bill from ScottishPower was not a mistake, but reflected genuine overuse through a combination of my technical error, a broken double-glazed window and a cat who hates closed doors. For the last three months I have accidentally had the boiler pumping out central heating 24 hrs per day, through a lack of understanding of the symbols on my boiler's LED menu. That's a serious and stupid mistake. In addition, I lack repairs, insulation and sensible door-closing habits. If you haven't fiddled them, the meters don't lie. On my conscience is ~£300 of excess consumption of fuel and its disgraceful carbon footprint.

• Action points
• RTFM* on the boiler after 5 years and understand timer and settings
• Call engineer about suboptimal boiler pressure
  
• Instruct kiddos in radiator settings so their rooms will be heated only when needed (50% of week)
  
• Keep internal doors shut
• Move Her litterbox and food bowls so kitchen door can be closed
  
• Insulate the 2" gap under front door
• Get the fucking kitchen window repaired, no matter what
  

I thank you, and please learn from my mistakes.
