    You are having such a tough time taxi but you are taking it all in a matter of fact way and getting through it all. I admire your spirit and your strength.
    Hope the weather clears so you can get out.

    Had to go out for an hour today to drop accounts in to the accountants and to do the banking and after getting home my back was aching really bad and I was only out an hour..had to have a sleep earlier.
    Finished the anti bs at lunch time today.
    On the MSE front I ordered a £50 payout from yougov

    It's going to be hard going for a while, try to rest as much as you can.

    You actually got to £50 on YouGov?! I've been doing it years and still not reached the payout.

    this is my 2nd £50 payout..think it's took about 2 years for each
    Just entered my gas/electric readings and my DD has gone from £84 pm to £125 pm and that's on a fixed price deal

    But is that because you're at home more at the moment and feeling the cold because of your treatment, so subsequently got the heating on more? Once you're better, you probably won't have the heating on so much.

    It isn't that as I've been at home the last 3 winters and I've had the heating on a lot less than I normally would this year...when I first started this DD it was £97 p/m but on my last bill they reduced it to £84 but after submitting this quarters readings have put it to £125...don't know how much the actual bills are yet as it says they will be available in the next few days but was looking through the payment details on the site to see it said £125 p/m..am not overly bothered as have to have heat and light so it has to be paid

    Yes, you do have to have heat, very important for you. Hopefully, it will even out over the year.

    I will try to remember to do meter readings tomorrow. I changed to a fixed tariff too.

    I'm currently £140 a month for my gas and electric taxi, it really is a painful bill :(

    How you feeling ?

    I'm embarrassed to say how much mine is, its really low :A

    I always wonder about it tho, Taxi, look at your DD going up and down like that - doesn't seem any sense to it, does there. Something's wrong in the system, I think.

    Thats quite a few posts from you! Hope you're feeling a little bit chirpy :D
