    I did the online calculation thing for water, and I would be worse off with a meter. Son has to have a BATH every day (not a shower) and i have to wash his clothes every day because they are full of skin flakes.
    I had a meter once, pre-kids, and it was cheaper but only at the expense of hygeine:(

    Not sure if someone might have suggested this, perhaps you could re-use some of the bath water for flushing the toilet.

    Also do you post many letters? You culd perhaps buy in bulk unfranked 2nd class stamps off Ebay from a seller with 100% rating at nearly 1/2 the cost of postage stamps from the post office. Not finished reading through all the posts yet. Good luck!

    Just had another thought, not sure if your son has a special diet but I use to suffer from eczema too. Perhaps you could introduce more fish in his diet as it provides some good oils. With eczema I find that the skin is itchy when dry. Also drinking plenty of water is always good.

    Not sure if it's been said before as I didn't have time to read all the posts but what about delivering the local free paper. I used to do this with my children when they were younger. We had a round of about 200 houses and had to put lots of leaflets and money off coupons inside (we got to keep all the left-overs). We also had from Thursday - Saturday to deliver them. It didn't pay a lot but it was a case of every little helped.
