    Well a smidgen of good news today - I sent my energy readings in and I'm only using half the gas I was using this time last year, the combination of better weather and a new boiler :D, hopefully they will continue to fall over the summer. Not much news just job hunting and work really but all good :cool:.

    ...or for extra effect 'I can't believe you forgot the bunting?'

    I interviewed someone for my dissertation on Tuesday and I thought he said the tenants could heat the house for £68 a year. When I played it back he said if they adapted to the house (Passivhaus) they could heat the house for £68 but even if they didn't it was going to cost them about £100! :eek:
