I assume that you use your oven for baking cakes, roasting roasts etc. so how come you haven’t succumbed to C2O poisoning so far?

As you say lancsdave the landlord will always have you over a barrel especially if he is a private landlord. Housing Associations and the Council have got emergency engineers on standby for such occasions.

I found that when sat down watching TV, raising the legs off the floor and wrapping a blanket around them helped a lot. Of course you would have to wear an extra jersey.

There is a plus though. A cold bedroom doesn’t half encourage you to get undressed and into bed sharpish instead of loitering around. The same goes for getting up.
