    Good luck :)

    When we bought his house we were only given details of one electricity supply. Duly paid bills then wondered why lights went off :eek: that's because there are two supplies and we had a lovely bill to clear before being reconnected :p

    It's very windy here today. Blue sky and not as hot.

    Yesterday was blistering.

    _pale_ Let's just say you should have wished harder :rotfl:.
    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort

    Two electricity bills? Is one for external/street lighting? How odd!

    It's quite odd, basically garden, irrigation etc on one, house on another. We were paying garden one knowing nothing about the house one at all :rotfl::rotfl:

    I suppose that makes sense, one of those cultural/country differences that seems daft to me as a Brit, but probably seems like the most logical thing in the world to other countries!

    Morning, last day here and fly home tomorrow. It has been glorious and I feel truly blessed. Heading off for an adventure today. Car will be pointed west and we will see where it takes us :)

    Spending has been low with the exception of dinner last night. However, it was a treat to thank good friends for their help and worth the money :)

    I'm off to have a coffee in the garden and enjoy watching and listening to the birds. My chum is having a lie in :).

    Just spoken to Mr T and he's doing another CS drop off this morning.

    I forgot to add previously that GallyGirl has driven me insane :eek: Before she left she taught me how to samosa plastic bags - guess what - I can't stop. I did all the ones at home before I left :rotfl:

    Best wishes, Tilly x x

    I just knot my plastic bags and throw them in an uber plastic bag :p
