Amber - what made you live in Spain?? Are you actually Spanish? My parents have a little apartment thing in Altea it's nice enough. My spanish is limited to dos estrella por favor. which is shockingly bad. Bizzarly i can understand words so get the jist of a conversation but can't actually speak much.

I'm English. When I decided to leave, it was Spain or France, as they're the two languages I know something of. My Spanish is pretty good by now, you do need to live in a country to learn the language well. TBH ordering two beers is about as much as most Brits know

Eek, my Eon bill came through and I'm £200 in debit. Not impressed!!

Hi nikki

Just noticed your posts and hope you don't mind if I offer a bit of general advice.

Is the bill based on accurate meter readings or estimates? Let us know if we have used estimates. Tell us the actual readings and ask for a replacement bill. Could make a difference.

I know that being in debt in Winters normal but still, its the first winter i've paid them so I've never been in debt before. My DD is up by £8 a month - excellent.

Your Direct Debit should have been increased to include any outstanding balance. This automatically spreads the amount owed over a period of time to, hopefully, make the payments a little more manageable.

The excessive cold weather this winter has increased most people's bills. Going forward, there are things you can do to help reduce usage and save on your bills.

Have a chat with our Energy Efficiency team. Give them a list of your appliances and they will be happy to advise of ways you may be able to cut back.

Ask for a copy of a booklet called '100 ways to save money by saving energy.' It's free and contains lots of useful energy saving tips.

Check out our website; particularly the interactive house. More good tips here. :cool:

The 10:10 campaign might also be of interest. This is a climate change campaign aimed at helping people reduce their energy consumption by 10 per cent by the end of 2010. Again, details are on our website.

Sorry if I'm talking to the converted, nikki, but I hope this is useful. Give me a shout if you need any more info as will be happy to help.

ok, quick update, list now looks like this:

Book pallet to collect fish tank (just bee ntold the reason I can't find the address is because it is on OHs phone)
Phone court and pay fee
Phone CSA
Phone Jan and make payment
Pay Rent
Phone RNSYC and sort membership
Get doctors app for !!!!head, I mean OH
Do some shopping so we can have dinner tonight
Find 8 empty boxes to be collected at 5pm
Add another 50 listings to EBay
Remove ad for kittens
Wash up
Do at least 1 load of washing
Post sales
Phone DVLA and find out where the hell my licence is (experiencing delays, won't be here for 2 weeks )
Phone council and sort out lack of bin
Work out finances to see if I can actually afford weekend away.

However, doing the above has led to more needing to be added!

If I were to move, it would have to be the South of France, beautiful! Beer is not my vice, however, I can order Ice-cream in 4 languages!

Amber - I agree with the cat conversation, however, no reply is still better than half the carp OH comes out with!

MAP - re your pm, here are some of the books I like -

20th century classics, interior design, tarot (obviously) and witchcraft (modern), alternative therapies, French and Spanish lit and language, biographies, cats, photography (art books, not how to), Paris, cinema, history, LOVE all sorts of novels but … can't stand romance, chicklit, sport, not fond of crime.
