That's two of you so far who have used less than the estimate... what more do I need to do to persuade you all to submit regular meter readings!
ETA - just seen Kazw has also had a success with this!
Toots - have you sorted out your tariff/supplier yet?0 -
I've just realised I can't clean the outside of DD's window as there is a rather large high sleeper in the way

I'm amazed - a quidco missing "ticket" sent in October 2006 has just been sorted out and £15 is coming my way - amazing!
Errands done - now ironing whilst DS has a calm down quiet moment or two.
Then I'm cleaning windows at the front - the sun this morning revealed rather a lot of half term handprinting going on.
MoamAlthough no one can go back and make a brand new start, anyone can start from now and make a brand new ending.... life is a WIP.
