I trust you'll celebrate the achievement in style?0 -
SMF that really is.....A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort

SMF - a massive well done to you for passing your half way mark. What a great christmas pressie eh?! You should also consider as a huge achievement the sheer number of people on here for whom you have proved such an inspiration - well done on that too, and thank you from just one of that number. :beer:🎉 MORTGAGE FREE (First time!) 30/09/2016 🎉 And now we go again…New mortgage taken 01/09/23 🏡

I've had a great Christmas and New Year
LOL
I'll be back tomorrow with my NYs MFW resolutions
All the best:D0 -
Mixed results for me for the Dec 008 Qtr.
ELECTRICITY
I did well with my electricity - down 4 kw per day - Saving about £8 per month. In previous Dec qtrs electricity has cost us £1.57 per day this is now £1.30.
I didn't use my freezer and spare fridge over christmas so they have now been recycled and have gone...
GAS
This was broadly the same as previous years:o. - 69 kilowat hours per day at a cost of £1.50 per day. Must do better...:p
I have updated Page 1 of my Energy Use Diary Thread on the Green board
All the Best
