Hi aj, our gas meter is an old one with only 4 numbers and the last one moves really slowly so i'm afraid I can't help Have you got a electric usage thingy (sorry can't remember the name :rotfl:) yet?, ours was free from eon a couple of years ago, sometimes you can get them from suppliers even if you are not with them, it might be worth a look.

I haven't got one of those, it is the gas that is most concerning. We pay a lot for it but haven't normally minded however I am trying to claw back money where I can within reason now. I have put our usage on my thread to see how it compares but maybe I just need to get used to it.

I've been up for hours worrying as one of the cat's is missing No-one has seen him since yesterday morning at least, ds1 thinks he saw him then. I've been out looking in the dark round the back of our house, but its just so cold I'm worried. Its not like him as he usually spends his days stretched out on the armchair. I don't want to upset the kids but I have a bad feeling.

I'm at home all day today, looking for the cat obviously, cleaning the house and doing the ironing. Off to check the accts and do today's op.

Hi Newgirly just wanted to say I read your diary from the beginning and really enjoyed it. Your doing so well.

My cat went missing in the snow two years ago he was missing for 4 days. He turned up at our old house. He was very sorry for himself and hungry. He hasn't done it since. Hope your cat turns up. Take care.

Morning NewGirly, hope the cat hunt proves successful. They can be little b£ggers at times.

They are such a worry.

Best wishes Tilly x

Hi Newgirly, didn't want to read and run and wanted to say that's great news about the cat - bet he doesn't go far for the rest of the day now and settles in the warm with you. AG

Phew, glad the puss cat turned up safe & sound

Do you have a breadmaker or do you make it by hand?? I'm not sure I could trust myself to make my own bread ~ the smell of freshly cooked bread is just sooooooooooo nice I'd be pulling chunks off & smothering them with butter ~ not a good idea when I'm trying to lose weight!!

newgirly

Hi Pink poppy, I have a breadmaker "borrowed" from my mum a few years ago. I think I might make it tomorrow now, as if I make it today i will eat it all

How's your onepoll going - I only claimed at Xmas and I'm on £7.95 already :T
