South Wales Saver think the heat getting to me! Love full shelves is in Norfolk, funny long way from Cwmbran!!! anyway there are definately two of us!!

Do you ever go foraging around Cwmbran? I find you get a lot of funny looks from the chavs!! and yummy mummys. I was collecting elderflowers near my childs school and had a lot of funny stares!
If you ever want a partner let me know and we can have funny stares together!!

Tell me about it. I just wish I had pet insurance - it's too late now. But when you love them what can you do?
I can see me signing up for the dread Equity Release. There are several potential downsides to this - one being that a substantial chunk of your estate, when you die, could end up being swallowed up. :eek:
But hey - I don't care if I don't have a bean when I die. In fact if one knew the date and was capable, one could at least have a blast beforehand.

DD&D - re Eon. If yo think they've put your d/d too high you can reduce this on-line. They wanted to put our d/d up to £145 from Aug but as we ae now being much more careful with fuel use (upside of DH being off & realising how much things cost:p) we have reduced this on-line to £116 - as low as it would let us go.
Wrth a try...

This is my latest arrangement, for an emergency water reserve.



40 Litres, which is around 8 days supply.

thinking of buying new fridge freezer , as my old kelvinator is still going, but as advised on here earlier in the year probably costing me a lot in electric bills , 5ft basic fridge freezer will do from argos currys etc for an average one should cost about 150-200 for lil ol me, or should i go to an local appliance shop, my sisters great at scouring gum tree etc could set her loose

Thanks BB, I'll look out for some next time I'm there. I'm keen to have as much water as I can store - so vital and so cheap to do that it's daft not to.
I'm looking into getting a bigger water butt to fill off the roof, but that wouldn't be immediately potable (although easy enough to make so) and will need a bit more cash investment unless I can find one in a boot sale or similar.
