It's been capped for 2 years and we still get the £400, details are on the g0v site and refer to 'average' use. Mine will be about £100pm excluding the freebie.

Very sad news about the Queen.

Enjoy your evening out.

I looked at Martin's post just and am still confuzzled. lol. Im just doing housework before i go out.

It's not much use as it's based on 'average' consumption, 3,300 kWh for electric, 12000 KwH for gas it's £2500, less the £400.

If you use more / less than the 'average' yours will cost more / less. 

Your supplier should tell you how much kWh you've used over the last 12 months, then you can see and do a rough calculation.

Have a great time and tell us how much fun you've had, what you ate / drank tomorrow 😊

Well, we had an Indian dish they are famous for. Mine was lamb whilst they had basic balti. Despite it being a rather posh restaurant, the 3 of us had dreadful tummies today. I didn't eat exactly the same food as my friends they are vomiting, I'm not as bad thank goodness.

It cost £60 (I paid as they are helping me with greenhouse v cheaply this weekend,  weather permitting). We have to look on the bright side, it will discourage me from eating out again for a while!

Work is v busy.  I think this year will be madness too and have written a draft letter to our boss's boss to see if he can implement some fairly reasonable requests to reduce stress levels and maintain the quality of lessons as my boss won't listen to us.  

All being well my parents should be coming sometime next week which i am looking forward to.

Oh what a shame.
Make a big pot of your own for those spicy food craving days.

Hope your letter brings positive changes.

How long is the visit and what does everyone have planned? I'm assuming, subject to weather, your garden will be occupied 😊

Well we are going to dismantle greenhouse, no idea how. I only have one pair of gardening gloves, the men will do it and us ladies will make tea, move whatever we are told to and try to look useful mostly. I'm laughing, as i know how useless i am!

Mum and dad will look after me whilst i am writing lessons every night!!!! lol. I wont have time to go anywhere.

Good luck with dismantling the green house. I hope you are all feeling better

I am much better. One of my friends is vomiting! I am writing my lessons literally the night before. Wakling up early tomorrow to write them. lol.

I hope you have reported the potential food poisoning/ vomiting etc to food standards agency
