    90% of contracts are these days, unfortunately.
    Payment a day challenge:

    Capital One Credit Card - £7.55/£1306.56

  • £30 over 18 months is £540 take away cash back £60 = £480 minus value of PS3 which is about £280 = £200 / 18 months =£11.11 a month for 900 mins and unlimited Text.
    sounds ok to me if I put it that way. Then that would be my son sorted for Xmas.

    Hi

    have you checked with What was warmfront. As a householder in receipt of benefits, thy may be able to help pay for insulation and or boiler replacement.

    With respect to the fire, try to get a wood burning stove as these are much more efficient. There is even a design for a simple tiled stove in a fairly recent edition of the Permaculture mag, made from concrete paving slabs. It stays warm overnight.
    If you've have not made a mistake, you've made nothing
  • Yes I have had my walls insutated and they gave me some bulbs and they filled the attic with insulation, I want waiting to see if it makes a difference this year, I hope so.
    I will try and find that mag, I am looking for a woodburner,
    Thanks for your help x
