Another £100 into IceSave - signature updated. From now on I will also add the interest earned in the IceSave account, as my balance there is less than my Olympic challenge balance, because I only recently started depositing into IceSave. Expecting some Paypal money in tomorrow too, another £30ish...

What's IceSave?...........
never mind, I found it!

The thing is, where I live, there's no Tesco!

:huh: where on earth doesnt' have a tesco??? let me move there quick!!!!:rotfl:

No tesco's?? I've just checked the tesco website and within a 7 mile radius of my house there is 10!!! :eek: OK so 8 of them are tesco express but still!!
I'm really peeved I missed the panorama thing on them as I really believe it will be tescoland!!
Did manage to catch the eco thing they did last night though. Be very keen to see what our footprint would be. Is there anyway of finding out?

And have just sussed why I missed it...cos it was a dispatches programme, not panorama!! doh!!!

Have sold a microsoft cd-rom for £50 which I am quite pleased about especially as it was £2 from a charity shop and had had it since the money from nothing challenge

Just waiting for him to pay for it

I'm sure there must be a website out there which calculates carbon from energy used, transport etc

I was shocked at how much cows produced:eek: (might go to a milk replacement)

found the site

http://www.carbonfootprint.com/

really original name!

MonstersMummy

Thanks for that!!

I knew cows had a big methane issue but didn't realise they were worse than traffic!!!! We dont eat meat but will definitly look into going back to non dairy as well. Had to last year as my littlest was intolerant so it wont be too hard! Can I still keep chickens though? If I had to use egg replacement stuff I'll go nuts!! Dont think they're too bad with the gas!!

According to the site i need to plant two trees to offset my carbon footprint

(I can buy them at £12 each, but I'm sure there must be a cheaper place to get them)

MonstersMummy

I was just about to post how chuffed I was cos Iwas so far under the national average....until I read you have to plant 2 trees...I have to plant 4!
Oh well...I'm still way under so I'm pleased with that!! In fact my primary share is half the national average!! :j
