:question: Please could you advise me if £90 a month electricity is excessive?
We have a seperate gas bill for Gas CH and hot water, Gas fire and Gas hob. 3 bed semi with electric shower no tumble drier but do have dishwasher and cook from scratch most things. meter readings being done twice daily say we are using roughly 14-16 units a day.

Our combined gas and leccy is £91 per month, for a 2-bed bungalow; I'm here all the time, and we don't stint on heating because of my health. Don't know how this compares with your place, but I hope it gives you something to compare with.:o

AnW'sMum no you are not allowed to be a lurker - you have to finish the RoD(trademark pending) before you will be allowed to lurk!!! Might join you with the presie sorting this afternoon!

lol I can't afford to be a lurker, NOTHING would get done!!! Anyways present list is up to date Need sit this evening and look where the gaps are so when I am out tomorrow I can try to plug the gaps

Also had the WM and TD on, clothes folded as they have come out the TD. Will be put away once the SW's are back from school. WM filter cleaned (yuk!) and cleaning cycle done on WM.

Boddy sending hugs and good wishes your way, I can only imagine what you're going through, my Mum was seriously ill earlier in the year and I would have been distraught if the worst had happened. (((hugs)))

Have not done much this morning as OH was here and he sits on his a&$e while I do stuff and I get annoyed! And he moans that he's got the day off but doesn't see me - but of course he doesn't help with the chores... Have stripped the bed and got it in the machine. About to do a clean cycle as it needs it after all the wet trousers from DS that we've had over the last few weeks...best dig the vinegar out. Actually think there might be a few things I can cross off as done recently or unessential - let's see -

Can someone help me please. I have cleaned the filter on the WM, the drawer doesn't need cleaning as I use a scoop of soda crystals along with the soap powder so it keeps the drawer nice and clean, but - what is everyone doing with vinegar:question::question:

Vinegar acts as a fabric conditioner It neutralises the limescale in the water, so protects the machine and pipes too

I've made a sausage cassoulet for tea, and will make a cake to go in the tin
