  • I think this is it, I don't really get the last bits. The reason my gas, electic and water can't be changed is due to the rental aggreement.

  • Snow, It's shocking how much gold goes for these days (showing my age now hehe) but like i said in your diary if it was only lying around anyway then the money will come in handy won't it?
