Our high-ceilinged Victorian house has ill-fitting doors, rattling windows, draughty chimneys and no cavity walls to fill. So there's a limit to what we've been able to do to save energy (beyond a foot of insulation in the loft) during a six-year period when average power bills have risen from £500 to £1300 a year, while our incomes have stood still. But, in addition to woolly jumpers, I've found a very effective way of staying warm this week: anger.
