FMess - I went trampolining last night and I too are feeling the effects. I was knackered!!!

Another NSD yesterday.

I was at the checkout stage of amazon about to buy some books and I stopped myself. I didn't want to ruin a NSD so I'll buy them on Friday instead.

Today will be another NSD too

speky I couldn't believe how tiring it was and I'm still aching 3 days later. They apparently do it as an exercise class too.

I'm going to call Eon as I can't eeem to work out our annual usage (to enter into MSE energy calculator). Hoping we can save more by switching.

Hello evkizzy. Hope you don't mind me dropping by but thought I might be able to give you a bit of a steer about where to find details of how much energy you've used.

If you've registered with our website, there's a handy tool that shows 12 months usage. It's called 'Midata' and is near the bottom of the menu on the 'Your Account' page once logged in. You can see the information directly online or have it emailed to the address registered with your online account. This service is, though, only available once we have 12 months billed data.

On each bill, we give details of the annual usage too. We'll also tell you if you could pay less. This can be seen online as well by going to 'billing and payments' and choosing 'view your paper bill.' If you've been with us for over a year, there's a rough comparison with what you used the previous year.

Usage can be found by asking for an online quote. This opens a page with a tick next to 'your current energy usage.' Choose this and you'll see your annual usage.

Each year we send a summary for each fuel you have with us. This will have 12 months usage information. These summaries are sent separately to bills and will be posted within a year and 30 days of the last summary or, if you haven't been with us for long, a year and 30 days after the supply start date. These aren't currently available online.

The accuracy of this information will depend on the number of meter readings we have. The more the better. If you've Smart Meters, where readings are sent to us remotely via electronic messages, the data will be accurate.

Hope this points you in the right direction evkizzy. Let me know if you need any more details as happy to help.

So sorry I haven't been posting.
I still haven't managed an NSD, which is pretty shameful.
I am exercising though, and keeping positive as much as possible.
Haven't completely avoided bad food but I'm being very balanced.
Plodding on with the rest of my list and not doing too badly I general.

Its not shameful. Neither have I. Sometimes it just works that way. If you have stuck to your own personal budget, the way you spend it is not important. NSDs are great if they are possible for you but dont worry if not.

Quick check in from me.

Made a £10 PAD, getting very close to the 60% repaid mark now.
Found 4p roadkill
Had an excellent meeting with a potential client
Picked blackberries
Roast chicken dinner with a lot of leftovers

Hello bobarella, still here-ish. Just combatting overwhelmedness atm so just popping in to read occasionally. Plus life throws boulders in my path financially etc and i steer off and loose track. Just everything seems so unpredictable. A lot of robbing Peter to pay Paul going on. Need to get my act together hopefully for next month.

Don't worry thrifty. I'm juggling Peter, Paul, Phillip and Percy this month.

Not a SFD as needed antihistamine cream for the bites, bought chocolate and cat treats for the cats I'm looking after (chocolate is not for the cats!)

Completely failed on the one hour of screen time today, if you'd said keep it under 12 hours I'd still be struggling. I'm really engrossed in the Olympics, incredibly achey from the trampolining, nursing throbbing, hot, red limbs from mozzie bites and was just in one of those moods!

I will try again tomorrow!
