    ds made me smile today in his little rain suit (will post pic on my thread) was a ray of sunshine in the gray, irksome weather!

    don't look at the news - it will only depress you! I'm not listening to any more reports about how bad the financial situation is, going to put my fingers in my ears 'la, la, la,la'. Do you think that's good MSE advice? lol.

    Just logged into mortgage account and interest per day has fallen below the £20 peer day mark - it's £19.63, so another milestone reached:D:j:j

    Read the gas meter this morning and we are using about 19kwh per day of Gas (hot water & heating). Our use for this qtr is averagely in the region of 66kwh per day. Our heating is coming on for a short while in the morning at the mo, but our house seems to be warming up well during the day, so it hasn't yet come on in the evening.

    All The Best

    Good news on energy consumption, we're just waiting for our next electricity bill hopefully it will come down as we've been much more careful about what we use.

    Hi all:hello:

    We are just plodding along at the moment:D Made an OP of £1000 again this month :jand we now owe £127,832.

    Had a NSM (no spend month) on books for myself but spent quite abit on GCSE revision books for my eldest:rolleyes:. Had a NSM on clothes for myself but spent lots on the kids - new coats, PJs, slippers etc:rolleyes: The electricty and gas consumption is still going well and am still down a third on both electricity and gas use:j

    The car got through its MOT and is chugging along OK.

    I haven't started my Christmas shopping yet but I have the money saved for it tucked away in Northern Rock. I'm going to try and make sure that as much of it as possible gets spent in British Stores:D

    All The Best everyone.

    wow...what an incredible amount you have achieved....i am in awe!!!

    have subscribed now so will be able to find again....will be looking at my energy usage when i finally manage to switch suppliers...can't get a bill at the moment because they changed my meter in june and still haven't confirmed the final numbers with my supplier!!!:eek: :mad: i think i will wait another couple of days and then i will send them a bill with the amount of cash i have lost by being with my current supplier because of them....perhaps that will make them shift their butts....:rotfl:
