    Aha, another bonus of a sunny day....now that we don't need one imminently I've been able to book a chimney sweep to come in!

    My father told me today its been the coldest summer on record since some time in the early ninties. I can well believe that.

    It's been really chilly up here in scotland for almost the past month! I've relented and put the heating on 3 times so far. With a toddler in the house there is only so much layering you can do before it's useless. I have been putting extra in the meter though and have £30 extra stashed away for when the weather cools down that's not including some money I've been putting away in preperation.

    I'm also on a getting ready winter mission and have been doing surveys and reviews like mad to raise the funds for an oil heater, halogen heater and thick curtains for the bedrooms. I bought the wee ones slanket the other day (in the sale of course) and I seen Asda are selling theirs for just £10 adult ones at the moment so will pick one up in the next couple of weeks before the price rises out of control.

    I can't believe we're thinking of heating in August!

    It WAS sunny here, but then clouded over. But.....I can see clear skies in the distance, heading our way :) Which probably means that our apartment is as a hot as a sauna now!

    That is a sad thing that many pensioners will have to face this winter 'to heat or eat' I am lucky that I budget and always have extra tucked away for hard weather.With my osteo-arthritis if I get cold my joints stop working so I like to keep my hpuse at an even tempreture if I can.I have double thickness insulation in the roof and the walls are cavity filled and I have double galzing so it all helps to keep the bills down as much as possible as with food, enegry is saved as much as possible in my tiny cottage.But I do have friend who find life very difficult during the winter months.


    its not just pensioners that face that choice

    Ours is off right now though I did have it on for a couple of hours the other night. Trying to leave it as long as possible with the price rises although spoke to BG today, my gas DD is going down by £12 and electric up by £15, though I always use loads of gas in the winter, and I know I will be in debit at that amount. Its daft how it all works!

    Everything will be ok in the end, and if it isn't ok then it isn't the end :)
