That's you got some home work then rising let us know how you get on

I think it's very easy to get stuck in the drudgery of it all sometimes,Anne we need to make more effort to celebrate and appreciate the great things that come our way also

Jar,scrapbook of good things sounds fab as it's so easy to forget the good things

Hmmmm just worked out I am £9.87 per day in gas consumption just now, this will not do ... Need to get this down

taxi73

don't have a clue what we use but luckily the house is quite warm so don't have to put it on too often...not had it on today and the thermometer thing on wall is reading 23.5...was definitely worth investing in new windows and doors the other year.
have you tried comparison sites to see if you can get it any cheaper

elantan

I have taxi, we are on the cheapest , fixed rate till march 2014 as well we pay £140 a month but I fear that's not going to be enough as its for both gas and electricity ... Yikes

taxi73

hopefully it will be as it's a lot..mine is £125 p/m but hardly put heating on

Well no bright ideas hit me through the night regarding gas consumption and how to reduce it, I think that will be in the back burner for a while .

But I have come up with a cunning plan of sorts that kills two birds with the one stone, I am addicted to sugar ( as I'm sure a few of you know already) now this is mainly due to night shift and lack of energy to do it, and until I get a straight day shift job, which currently appears to be rarer than hens teeth in stuck working nights, and stuck needing that sugar fix, I have noticed the craving for sugar can sometimes be controlled and I can go weeks without a suga fix, but when it hits it hits hard.

So I am proposing joining the mfw take lunch to work challenge and for every shift I manage to do where I don't feed my sugar fix I will pay £1 into an interest bearing debt... There not a whole night shift wasted

Sadly loads of sugar consumed though
