    i had been doing SO well but left the house 24hrs while lieaving heating set intermittantly on timer and the attic door open etc but my downstairs cold taps are i presume frozen. Now when this happened before, all I had to do was pour boiling water into the stopcock thing outside my house and it was INSTANT - my water came straight back. This time- no! Is it possible that the little less heating that was on when I was away made the difference? I left it on about 4 hours in the evening as normal and for 3 1-hr intervals during the night. When i'm at work it might only be on an additional 2 hours ea evening.
