    Oh blimey Triker, neve rains does it, pleased he's ok
    soappie, that sounds so yuk, I remember working somewhere similar where they could have completed the work with 3 people not the 8 they had, at least it's only short term ((hugs))
    greenbee you can get LED bulbs for halogen lights which are supposed to use less

    DS1 seems to have enjoyed his morning today so I am very pleased

    I've managed quite a bit so far today. Cleared 5 boxes from kitchen - garage (filled them first apart from dehydrator) which helped me sort out in there a bit more, going to empty the pantry and reorganise it next. 2 buckets of car cleaning stuff from dining room now in garage too. Been in touch with new & old gas supplier, it's been moved a month & no bill. Anyway the old one said they have't had reads so I've worked it out myself. August 27th-Oct 13th £15 ish...not bad considering they are expensive one (we use gas for shower, dishwasher etc too) I've just found this calculator on here. Unfortunately since the colder weather started our usage has gone up....hugely! Trying to work out where/how we can save but then of course it'll go up with the tanks. Gas is higher, will monitor that more.

    Off to see if I can find a thread of average uses, we're at (now) about 15 ish units per day electric & gas about 27 (kwh) eeek
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:
    GC: £200
    Slinkies target 2018 - another 70lb off (half way to what the NHS says) so far 25lb

    The sparkle ball is amazing. I must see if we can make one. Must go now and finish lavender bags or I won't be going anywhere.

    I don't think they know the meaning of a whole day's work! I did sort of prod my boss today and asked her about what I would be doing next week when she's on holiday. I think that's geared her up a bit and she found a couple more tasks for me today - one was REALLY interesting. It was removing a load of paper from a file and putting it in the confidential waste bin, then the file and the plastic sleeves back in the cupboard. It took all of two minutes....
    so are you going to stage a hostile takeover in her absence :p I assume you have at least perfected your manicure.

    Massage appointment done. I'm shattered now, but am on another client call... and my bluetooth headset ran out of charge halfway through, so I'm having to use the speaker and sit by my desk instead of getting on with my ironing :D
