This clip has been doing the rounds over the last week or so, what with energy bills having just gone up. It’s a way of heating a room using just tea lights, a baking tin and two plant pots, for an average of 8p a day. Have a look:

I thought I’d give it a go, so I bought a baking tin (£2), a pack of 100 tea lights (£2) and two ceramic flowerpots (£2), and set it up in my little drying room. I think you need to experiment with the amount of candles you use, but it seems to work very well.
Now, obviously it goes without saying but I’ll say it anyway just to cover myself. There are obvious risks with naked flames and lack of ventilation to take care of fumes, so please be sensible if you’re going to try this. But if you do, good luck!
IVA? Best financial decision I ever made.
