  • Thanks guys XX

    Nearly half way through the 24 hours of doom!

    Killed anyone yet? :rotfl: Xx

    There was a smart car driver on the way home who nearly bit the dust - I mean WHAT IS THE BLOODY POINT OF THOSE CARS!!!!!!!!!

    but aside from them the world is safe. Luckily I have a box of chocolates and a cup of tea and the Mentalist so sanity is returning.

    :) xxxx

    That's a lot of gas and electric! We're paying £47 per month for the two combined (admittedly we do have the solar panels so great during daylight hours), that's for a 3 bed semi and we're home all day.

  • My gas and elec are £190 per month for both. I live in a 3 bed semi but our windows are pants. Mind you, this was based on previous usage and from when DH was not long out of hospital and DS2 was still a baby. We are currently over £100 in credit and have drastically reduced our usage, so hoping to reduce our payments too. Everyone knows now to put jumpers on and turn lights off (except DH who sometimes forgets!) Xx

  • Well I was hoping to start my new diary and challenge today but am still in the land of hormonal miseries and am so stressed out by the smallest thing, it is embarrassing!

    I am writing this here to push me into doing it.

    I also have the opportunity to sell my hutches (don't ask!) and so need to get my bum in gear.

    Tammy Grey Thompson is fantastic.

    Just saying.

    oh and am getting my hair cut at 11.30.

    Just feel so down. PATHETIC sodding hormones!

    Hi Buffy - I love reading your diary when you're having a good rant. You have such a great way of venting your feelings. My hair always looks great the day it's done - then I sleep on it and get attacked by the hair gorilla in the night and it's back to normal again.

    I thought I had the highest gas and elec bills in the UK compared to everyone else I knew at £154 a month for both. Looking at the above posts it doesn't seem too bad after all.
    I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)
