Hi Sarahneedle! The electricity usage actually went UP by 10% when I wasn't using the drier etc!! I really must investigate further, although I have to admit to using the tumble drier again this week

cake...yum......cake......yum yum........CCAAAAAAAAAAKKKKKKKKKKEEE:D
Cut the plug off the dryer!
Lol, sorry I know that sounds a bit drastic but it works:beer:
I hide the keys to my car too! Stops me taking it to the Asda down the road. I walk it instead now lol!
Good luck for the big day tomoro:T0 -
Sorry to hear about OH's grandad, hypno - but it is exactly as you said, its less of a tragedy when an elderly person dies, there's a sense of completion, hopefully, whereas when someone dies as young as 55, you know a life has been interrupted, that person hasn't had the chance to live a full life. Its still really sad, but there isn't that sense of a life not lived.
There's so much going on for you right now, I'm surprised your head's not spinning: even a job interview tomorrow. Take care, and yep, everything, but everything, is crossed!2023: the year I get to buy a car0 -
