What the hell?
Because ladies in the house turn the heating on when it it not necessary so we (me and dad) have told them to only turn the fire on if they feel cold instead of switching on the heating.
It is going to be 14C tomorrow but I am sure they will be they will be tempted to switch the heating on in addition to turning it up high thinking that the house will warm up quicker

There's a simple modification that can be made to ecotecs that will solve this problem.
Turn down the heating flow temperature knob to minimum, before drilling two 7mm holes at the 9 o'clock position. After that insert a cheap padlock and hide the key
Seriously though, it's not worth it. If you prevent the women in your house from turning the heating on, you'll have much more to worry about than a bit of wasted gas

I thought it was only my lot that did this! Must be a female trait.

It's very simple, if I am cold and I can afford the gas, I turn the heating on. Never mind if it's may!

Yes
I hate it.Now can anyone tell me if it's okay to do what I asked?
I am only going to to it when it's quite mild.
I don't pay any bills but I am still concerned.
cut a switch into the heating on feed to the motorized valve and hide it .
Simple solution is to buy a Drayton Digistat plus 3.
That way you can program the temperature for 6 different times of day, and when it gets there off it goes.
For example 07:30 20c, 12:00 18c 14:00 19c, 17:30 20c 10:30 7c
