Same here, I think if you can get to the end of Sept without switching it on you've done well. Re. Comparison sites...found lower tariffs using Uswitch. Re. Tumble Drying...definitely an expensive way to dry clothes. If you're using it to dry 'wet' clothes, let them air dry first, then a quick tumble dry for anything that needs softening/fluffing up. Re. Thermostats and TRVs...this is difficult to say what's right and what works best. Most therms are situated in a 'neutral' area like a hallway. If it's in the main living area, which tends to be the warmest part of the home due to lights, appliances and body heat, then you will get problems with the rest of the home feeling colder in comparison. If this is the case in your situation I would try setting the TRVs in the living room lower, thus giving the other areas of the home more time to warm up. As well as switching off unused lights, switch off appliances instead of leaving them on 'standby'. Simple draughtproofing might help too. Or you could always get a Onesie...
