    that's what i'm thinking Taxi, heaven only knows how long it would have taken if i wasn't constantly chasing, i think now she wants to get it done so that she can get rid of me. I don't care really as long as it gets done quickly and before the end of the month.

    got my winter quarter leccy bill today, owe less than £40 which i don't think is bad considering this year we have been on leccy heating 99% of the time, we used up the gas cylinder we already had to make it easier for moving, and that's been it. Feels like we're at least £70 better off in the cost of heating as compared to last year, i guess the mild weather has really made a difference, along with the new windows.

    We've had the heating on less since we had our new windows too!

    Glad you are getting somewhere LT. At least if you get on her nerves by constantly chasing her she'll speed things up just to get rid of you :)

    Hi LT, how are you? Someone in my work has brought in loads of cakes (naughty, naughty) even if it is all in a good cause.
    CC2 = £8687.86 ([STRIKE]£10000[/STRIKE] )CC1 = £0 ([STRIKE]£9983[/STRIKE] ); Reusing shopping bags savings =£5.80 vs spent £1.05.Wine is like opera. You can enjoy it even if you don't understand it and too much can give you a headache the next day J
