I've just bought an Argos mini oil-filled heater for £24.99 (800W)
because I don't like leaving my little computer room (to go and get
food etc) with the fan heater left switched on.

The oil-filled one is heating the room nicely, although more slowly
than with the fan heater. But I reckon the heated oil will maintain
the desired room temperature for longer between times when the
thermostat switches off. It's been on now (on thermostat) for approx
40 minutes and my Tschibo usage meter says it's used 4½ pence worth so
far (11.5 pence per unit here). Room is approx 2.8m x 2.4m.

Just read the gas meter again after taking the reading on Jan 1st.

In six days we've used 102 cu m of gas, for a cost of just under £42,
so that would be £6 per day atm. Lounge at 21.5 deg C during the day,
23 deg C in the evening.
