£65 per month gas. £55 per month electric. £65 per month water. £150 per month Council tax! :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:
If it's any comfort, my figures are similar, £35, £45, £150 but I'm sure the 1st two are gonna get revised upwards quite a bit in annual spring review!0 -

No gas, but our electricity bills are way higher than yours. Husband is frantic about them. I think we have a dodgy meter (but it costs to get it checked!) or else someone is syphoning it off!0 -

best bet for elec and gas being with them 6 years Atlantic Energy always the lowest for both if you sign up on their interner DD tariff and after 1 year with them they will credit you 1 monthly payment for both -which helps and Top customer service ,never a problem .0 -

Rummaging around the attic for my old school photies, found this poem I did for the kids about 25 years ago, when circuses were acceptable
Clowns at night in the dark.
Laughing men saw a spark.
“Fire! Fire!” smell of smoke.
Tethered horses start to choke.
Lions, tigers trapped in cages
Panic as the fire rages.
Fearless once, now they cringe
As their fur begins to singe.
Canine tricksters frightened too,
Leave a trail of doggy pooh!
Seal food burns, an apes alight.
Frying “Fish and Chimps” tonight!
Sequined ladies so serene.
Now they’re causing quite a scene.
Running screaming, what a sight.
Melting make-up, tights alight.
High wire act still looking fine,
Escape along a washing line.
Big Top blaze, calamity!
Heroes needed desperately.
Ringmaster Charlie’s smart attire
Is ruined by the smokey fire.
Leader once, Knew what to do.
Now he hasn’t got a clue!
Strongman Cecil knows no fear.
Comes up with a bright idea.
Leads Big Nellie to a stream.
All the crowd begin to scream.
“Suck up water”! they all chant.
At the swelling elephant.
When she’s full up to the trunk.
She’s lifted by the circus hunk.
Balanced on his arms of steel.
He spins her like a Catherine-wheel.
Squirts out water every turn,
What a clever pachyderm!
Sprinkler working, soon the spray
Washes all the flames away.
Strongest ones have shown their worth.
