Make the most of your oven. Filling an oven and batch cooking meals can save energy and money. If you share your home with others, planning meals and eating collectively can help build relationships whilst saving both energy and money.
Switch off radiators in any rooms you are not using regularly and keep internal doors shut to save energy.
Hanging out clothes to dry will save you energy and money over using a tumble drier.
