Oh to be able to do such wonderful things rather than being obliged to a semi-nomadic lifestyle.

I have sympathy with the need to follow the money but it is the modern way and fortunately although my horizons had to become extended they did not require physical relocation. I still work, of sorts and would rather not go into to detail, but thanks to the internet my activities are in the USA courtesy of electron flow. IMO the key to get money to flow to an individual wherever they are, is electronic.

Not intended to be a low blow but on second reading could have been seen as such. Sorry about that. I do sympathise with your position as you are where I have been so often and that is between a rock and hard place. You obviously earn good money but to be physically where your talents can be maximised, it costs good money to live. A very unpleasant catch 22.

A tad naive thinking you can mitigate the extra cost through thermostats and closing doors too.

Sorry and all that but this post smacks of 'I'm alright, Jack.' Nothing personal.

That's the way we did it when I was a child and the laws of physics haven't changed. Each radiator has a thermostat flow control which irrespective of the boiler calls governed by the central thermostat can moderate the overall flow in the heating circuit and concentrate the heat in the area which will minimise the calls on the boiler by triggering the thermostat off. Closing doors stops the interchange between hot and colder areas to a degree.

I'm alright Jack is a phrase I am familiar with from the past and to me it represents an arrogant disregard for other's welfare providing one's own is OK. I abhorred that attitude in others and hope it is not present in me. I can sometimes can be a little provoking in debate but always with the hope of adding two positives to a negative.

Lets have a real debate. Should I re-read the Fourth Turning to find out who wins the intergenerational battle. The younger cohort have the reigns of power from the greys now but the poor little lost souls haven't a clue what to do with them. Greys still hold the money so the new boys on the block operate by proxy. It's only a game of strategy like chess and your lot are certain winners when all our pieces fall over In the long game you cannot lose and we cannot win.
