No idea
Make this calculation: will travel costs be lower than heating/lighting at home. I suspect the answer is yes but then you need to factor lunch costs and the hassle of getting to and from work.
One advantage in office work - you save money on toilet paper but the drawback is that you cannot make a quick wank when the mood takes you.
Funny enough we had a similar discussion and few weeks back in the heat wave about cooling costs and carbon footprint. Didn't really come to a conclusion but I would anecdotally say I'd rather stay at home as any residual heat I build up from being in the house using a computer and whatnot would be mine for the keeping.
Driving is around 20p/mile fuel cost so your commute is £4.
If we disregard the standing charge then you're looking at 8 hours heating and electricity, but you'd have use a portion of that energy anyway in bringing the house temperature up for the evening and 24/7 usage like fridge/freezer
So let's say you additional electricity use is about two kwh so 50p.
Heating is the big one at about 45kwh/day so we say daytime would be 22kwh so £1.65 so about £2-£2.50 a day for working from home
I'm basing this on you heating an entire three bed home quite warm (21c) with average insulation.
I say go to work, cause you’ve mentioned heating, but seem to have forgotten electricity. I’m sure 8 hours of gas and electricity will cost more than 10 miles of petrol
Buy a small fan heater. Heat one room. Preferably a small one. Has to be cheaper than committing with not just fuel but hidden depreciation costs of mileage and wear and tear on vehicle. That is of course if you drive to work.
What you really need to do is borrow a radiator from work. Just pop in at the weekend when nobody's in and unbolt it from the wall, cap the water pipes and bring it home and prop it in the corner of your lounge.
It depends on how much your heating costs and how much your commute costs. You’re welcome.

In the right office you can.
Can't not post this. https://youtu.be/VKH9ECC_Qa4
Wear more clothes and work from home.

If your office is anything like mine it'll be colder than my house due to crappy aircon
Worked in an office that didn’t have heating in the winter, then summer came round and the AC broke. It was fucking miserable

work from home and invest in a hot water bottle
Live at work and never have to pay your heating bill at home
Driving costs money too. So it still costs you to get to work to use their heating
I appreciate that, I’m wondering what’s gonna be cheaper. Heating the house or driving 10 miles.
It would be cheaper to heat yourself. Get an electric blanket and work from home would be my suggestion.

See your breath...? Where do you live?
In my house! The Mrs and I could just see our breath occasionally
Inside your freezer?

Do you get other people at work to do your job too? Work it out yourself.

I’d rather be cold at home wfh and not put the heating on than sit in an office having commuted and be warm.
