    As it sounds like a great investment i assume there are some negatives as you've not already purchased one? I looked it up on the bay of e and they didn't seem dear at all really - must admit i didn't read about them / see end date so of course price could go up. I just looked to find out what it was :D So positives are:- saving ALOT of money year on year :T Small so easy to put in place ? Whats holding you back alchemilla? :)

    13 degrees in the sitting room with the fire on. Blowing a massive freezing storm.

    Today I am grateful for
    * £3 on a survey
    * funny kids "a gas spreads out to fill the available space miss, like an Alligator"
    * shared a lift with DH and saved £12
    * my bed...sleepy.
    * we are safe at home.
  • All very good things to be grateful for.
    Paid off mortgage nine years early in 2013. Now picking and choosing our work to fit in with the rest of our lives!
    Still thrifty though, after all these years:D
