well thats cheered me up on this awful wet day!

Morning all, its seems we are all up early today! not much going on in the land of JC today. OH is at work again today :j result!! so it will be a nsd for me. Have taken up savingwannabe's advice and have looked into opening my own bank account to separate my finances from OH.

Looks like I am going to go with the co-op, so will sort that all out on Tuesday and now get my wages paid into that. That just leaves sorting out the bills etc. I realise now its for the best.

Not having so many side effects from the pills now which is good and I am starting to feel more positive about things.

Have a great day everyone, even tho the weather is pants! enjoy the rest of your bank hols!

catch up later xx

What a lot of funny emails!

The tablets take a bit of time. I dont know if i am allowed to say this as it might be too medical and i dont have a medical degree. My doctor told me that in my case they replaced seratonin that my brain had ceased producing as i had been pushing myself for too long. It takes a while for your body to accept it again and i assume that was why i felt a bit nauseous, exhausted, 'slightly stoned' when i was first put on them. But that may have been my rubbish diabetes too.

Well done on coop. if they are open today it is worth ringing them up.

Weather is dreadful here. But i have to tidy up and do all sorts inside mostly so i dont mind. Am going to try to do some ebaying at some point too.

Have a good day all.

BLT keep trainspotting. It is logical so i have been told. Don't get it myself but you do have a hysterical sense of humour!

grrrrrrr well now Im not happy. I have just had an email from Scottish Power and they have decided to put my direct debit up again:mad:

I am so careful with what we use, I try and turn everything off etc and now they have decided to put my direct debit up from £139 to £186:eek:.

Which I was surprised at cos usually im in credit by at least £300-£400 each time. I have only stuck with them for as long as I have cos Im on fixed prices. Time for me to look around and change suppliers methinks.

anyone got any recommendations??

£186 a month? Thats outrageous.
We pay £60 with ManWeb (aka Scottish Power) which covers two tropical fish tanks (OHs fish), two pond pumps (did I mention OH has a thing about fish?) three pumps for the solar system (the bit they don't tellyou in the sales pitch) as well as two fridge freezers and a PC which is rarely turned off. The oven is electric too.

Do you have an array of hydroponic heat lamps as part of a grow your own project to compliment your LSD? or are there a few odd looking cables suspended between your house and a few of your neighbours?

It does seem quite a lot, I pay 70 pounds a month for dual fuel, which more than covers the cost of both, although I have to admit that running an extension lead from my neighbours garage and wearing a miners helmet around the house helps as well.

My big issue is with the water bill, happy to pay the bill for the water I use, but I am unable to find out who actually measures my sewarage use, I want to buy him a drink at Xmas, he is probably seriously need of of one.

That said I am not going to sit downwind of him when he drinks it.

hi moo2moo love the comment about the LSD :rotfl:

We have got fairly new appliances, everything gets turned off. Dont use tumble dryer anymore. laptops are always on (DD is never off hers!) and we have a rather large tropical fish tank (my OH is the same as yours, loves fish!)

other than that, I cant think of what could be pushing our bills up so much. Gas has never been my issue only electric. my oven is gas. its so confusing. I have asked ebico for a quotation, dont know what they are like. other than that aint got a clue!!

will keep you posted! x
