Hello. I just needed some advice please. Does anyone know which washing machine uses the least amount of water to operate?

Radiator Reflectors
Anyone got opinion on the effectiveness of these things? I see that Radflek currently have a 25% discount on 3, 5 and 8 sheet packs at £21/£33/£49 respectively. Would a sheet of MDF covered in kitchen foil do the job just just as well?

The less energy you use the more you pay year on year
I can't be the only one to notice that as we become more energy efficient and/or use less energy due to warmer Winter's whilst bills may appear to go down in the short term, over time the energy companies find ways to keep their income level up.

£15,000 for gas central heating or install Dimplex Quantum?
So I live 75 metres from the gas mains and following a ludicrous quote from the local supplier, an Independent Gas Transporter company has quoted me £11,000 for extending the mains to my house.
