    Hope you're not stuck I the traffic today, Brizzled. I was supposed to be shopping for tiles this morning, but thought that if I went out, I wouldn't get home again!

    Skint - not too much rain here atm - just a couple of showers so far.....

    Hi guys

    Just returning into Bristol but by train :) sorry to confuse SBO I was in the Midlands when I said it was hammering down but it did clear up. Hope OH put the washing out on racks instead of outside! That's one of the downsides of ditching the TD but can't say that I miss my lower bills. The fuel DDs each month have never been lower :):)

    Some peeps on here are talking about putting the heating on!! Shock horror. If the new tenant can stand it :rotfl: I will be keeping it switched off until 1 December..it worked last year:T


    Hope traffic is OK dangers...Brizzle town gets snarled up so easily and I cant always work out why!! By the way do you have a diary ( goes off to look!)

    OH and I have been pleasantly surprised that the neighbours have both put the heating on which is heating our little terrace in the evening :) I thought we might have had the heating on by now, but he hasn't complained once and long may it continue :D The cats on the other hand...

  • Is a tt tidying up the pennies in your account? I am doing at the moment to give to my emergency fund. It can only get bigger:)
