£60 is £60. How long does it take to hit the pot?

As lucielle says £60 is £60.
At least its done now.
I wont mention the housework though!

hypno06

adult ed are notoriously slow in paying, so it will hit the pot........someday!!

housework.....hmmm......I am just off for a run :rotfl:

beanielou

Gosh, I hope its not as wet your way is it is here.
Has rained solid for more than 24 hours.

It is blustery here, which makes running difficult, but it is dry so far. I did 3.8 miles - it was hard work, but I am glad I went out and did it.

Just off for a shower, and then I need to think of another excuse to avoid housework :rolleyes:

You're doing really good with the running..well done.£60 is a nice amount when it comes so that's all good.Housework..yuck.

hypno06

I am quite pleased with the running progress - I just need to keep it up, and find an extra 20 or so miles in the tank!!

Housework - have made a start. things look a little better than they did earlier. We will do "advert" tidies for the rest of the evening - short sharp blitzes.

I checked my online electricity/gas statement that arrived today - I am now in credit by £166, so that shows that we are keeping our usage quite reasonable. I don't yet know whether to leave the surplus in there to cover the winter period, or to withdraw £100 of it, pay it to the egg loan, and to colour in another couple of squares :rolleyes:

My electric is in credit to 155.00 at the moment too, and I was wondering the same thing ... I think I'll leave mine a little longer as the fixed rate I was on runs out next week so I need to check what it will shoot up to :rolleyes: I may look at changing supplier again too, does anyone know how often you can do that?? I have been with scottishpower for just over a year now

hypno06

I think that after a year you would be able to switch without any problems. Why not start looking now - and of course remember to go through quidco!! I am on a capped rate with E.on so hopefully when prices come down, we will be in even more credit and I can then reduce my monthly payment. I am really pleased that our credit is building up again, because last time we got a bill, I reduced it by about £30 a month - so to still be building up a credit is quite positive!

Just checked the comparison sites, and the best one was my bills going up by 132.00 per year :eek: :eek: :eek: Even if I stay with scottish power it will go up by 140.00 :mad: :mad: I guess that decides for me what to do with the money in credit :rolleyes:
