Am I being selfish?

[Markymark]

So you're antisocial, miserable and unwelcoming.

On an entirely unrelated note, what is it about France you enjoy so much?

To be fair to the OP,

Since when did we have to be fair on here?
Post at your peril is the motto.

I've got Hive and if the wireless thermostat / controller is not screwed to the wall then you could always lock it away in a drawer and have total control. Hive have also introduced the ability to control lights remotely.

my partners nephew (18) looked after our house a few weeks ago while we went on our cruise. filled up the fridge, freezer full of food. put £100 in a jar and told him to crack on. he enjoyed the piece and tranquility away from his parents and treated our house with the upmost respect.

life's to short to worry about the odd few quid in leccy and gas

It's a chronic problem in some parts of the country.

The food and the chance to speak French with my family.

Utmost.

Utmost.

I understand what G means about having folks in the house when he's not there - we're the same, and perhaps it's this rather than the cash.

Mind you, I'm thinking of installing one of these to save a few quid and help with bladder training - Mrs P's more careful with cash than me, so this could work...
