My wife says I am getting obsessive over reading the meters every day when I told her that our gas consumption has gone up 6 kWh a day due to our teenage grandson, who is staying for a few days, having long showers.:eek:

And the house reeks of Lynx deodorant.

    So your question is do we think you are being obsessive? If he's only staying for a few days, then quite probably.

    Showers and Lynx next step is no wash and smell of a herbal plant .

    If you are paying your utility bills then it's fine to keep a check. If He is paying, he can have as many showers as he likes.

    It would be the water meter I'd be checking :D 6 kWh gas is only what, 20p?

    Don't have water meters in Scotland, it's all you can use for £507.07 a year.

    He's just visiting his grandparents, he's still at school.

    Maybe that's what the Lynx is for, to cover up the smell of the whacky baccy.:rotfl:

    Is Lynx not something that your Dad chose by now and so something avoided?
