WelshWoofer's Staying Debt Free Mission

linz

Hi WW,

Just popping in. I read on here somewhere that for much cheaper heating bills time your heating to come on & off in the evenings rather than on and stay on. This way your house doesn't have chance to get cold before the heating comes on again but it saves quite a bit in costs.

Sounds obvious but i'd not thought of it til I read it here!

Thanks Linz!
I think I do that but not on purpose! If the heating is on for too long it gets too warm so I put it on the hour function and then a few hours later press the button again!

I've just put it on for the second hour - it 3C here tonight (according to the weather man) so I think I can justify it!

Well done WW - must be a great feeling.... I on the other hand got paid wrong this month!! Only got half what I should have done... Good job its not a complete disaster like it would have been pre-MSE. They are going to put it right at the end of the month need to survive long enough - sure I will but its irritating

you're good that you let them get away with this, i've once had an employer muck up my pay rise thereby giving me less money and i insisted that they paid me what they had gotten wrong by bank transfer. I was desperate for the money though, but i think i would still insist i got it if it was a substantial amount.

Hi WW,

Oh no! Hope you're not too cold tonight and that it doesn't cost too much to fix - hugs for you (might keep you warm too!)

Its still cold here too - seems too cold for the time of year doesn't it?

One more day to go at work - shattered today!
Not planning on doing much tonight - making a nice tea of quorn meatballs and pasta, having a bath and watching telly. I will have to make a start on my performance management stuff for work but will only do half an hour or so - I've done about 2-3 hours of work every night this week and after a full 7.30- 4pm day that's enough!

I considered insisting on this... but I knew the girl that had made the mistake and didn't want to get her in any more trouble.... I also felt awkward as I'm on a phased return back to work..... I will get it by 31st so not too bad... not waiting a whole month like you would at some companies

Just two words..... HALF TERM!!!!!!:j:j:j

Am pooped! Need a bit of a rest and recharge - nothing much planned for the weekend but I'm sure I'll find plenty to do.
Off for a glass of wine and a flop on the sofa!

Hooray, I'll drink to half term too!! :beer::beer:
I am doing exactly the same as you tonight - the sofa, with a blanket and just off to pour myself a drink of something alcoholic.
And relax......:D

All I can say is I wish....!

I'm working all but one day of next week - and that day I'm taking OH to the hossie for an all day appointment and I hate hospitals with a passion!!

DD is going to MILs, DS will be at home trying not to get into too much mischief hopefully
