    found car shampoo.
    Car now washed. :)
    I even checked the oil, radiator and window washers. :p
    Crikey TC, I wouldn't have a clue. I hope Mr T doesn't read your post he might start getting ideas - I can put fuel in, but I wouldn't even know how to fill the screen wash. :o:o:o:o

    I am now creeping away and hiding

    By the way, I bet it was lovely working on the car in the sun :)

    Hurrah for the blue sky and sunshine - almost makes me forget the fact that it is still really freezing outside. Sunshine is certainly good for the soul!

  • Morning, 37p TTOP this morning.

    We need to increase our fuel savings pot. We are now averaging £330 a month on fuel :eek: We currently save £300 a month. Fuel really is a killer.

    Just about to have a cuppa then get moving. I'm in the office today and didn't make a lunch last night.

    I'm currently talking to a couple of lodgers so fingers crossed.

    Have a good day.

  • Morning NewGirly, yep, it's a ridiculous amount. Most of the mileage goes on a golf which does a respectable 45-50 is per gallon.

    We've also had am email to say our gas and electricity bills are increasing again. It's never ending right now isn't it. We moved to SP last year but not sure if was worth it really, they all seem as bad as each other. I love the way the energy companies are experiencing such good profit margins, I wonder why that is :o

    I am definitely feeling extremely militant today. Oh to have a house which is completely self sufficient :)

    Think fuel costs us £360/month, can't get over how much it has increased in the last month

    We have had free cavity wall installation today so hoping the house will feel warmer and the heating won't be on as much

  • Evening, what a glorious day, blue sky and 15.5 degrees :T

    I love the spring and summer :)

    No money updates :o

    We are planning to start our early morning walks from tomorrow so that will be a treat for the hounds.

    We had cavity wall insulation a couple of years go and I think it has made a difference.

    Fuel is completely ridiculous £1.47 for diesel yesterday :eek:
