 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.found car shampoo.
 Car now washed. 
 I even checked the oil, radiator and window washers.  :o:o:o :o:o:o
 I am now creeping away and hiding

            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!0

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