can anyone recommend a cheap'ish (to buy and run) portable room heater, or at least give me an idea what to look for (i.e. oil filled, fan etc) that i can put by my desk and save me freezing my ass off in this d@mn freezing bedroom i call my office? thanks
I use a little fan-assisted heater from Argos - cost £20 or so last year. Will be interested to see if anyone suggests a more effective/cheaper alternative

De'Longhi Bambino Oil Filled Radiator - these are great, much better than a fan heater. Shop around and get one cheap, u just need a little one.
good suggestion binners, i can also use it to get shot of the knotweed in the field below that the farmer refuses to deal with! 😀
That won't get rid of knotweed. Oh no. That'll just piss it off.... 😯
You're cold? It's September. Where do you live, northern Norway or something?
He honestly won't deal with knotweed? If he leaves it, he'll have a field full of the stuff and a massive bill. If he ploughs it up or rotavates it, he'll have a field of the stuff much more quickly.
He could quite easily give it a going over with Round-Up once a year every spring when new growth appears and have it gone in a fairly trouble free manner. The process of killing off new growth every spring exhausts the energy stores in the rhisome network below.
As for electric heaters - they're near 100% efficient. The only difference between any of them is how they give heat out - a fan heater will give you heat now, but not when it's off, and an oil filled rad will stay warm for a bit once it's turned off.
Devon here and not much warmer in the room I call my office - damm it sitting here in a fleece! Think a ride is order to get warmed up!!
