Ooh, KC mentioning meter readings has prompted me to start thinking about the electricity bill... although I may not do anything until the builders have left. Our DD has gone up to £89 a month 😮 I'm hoping it won't be so ridiculous now they've sorted the central heating pipes - we might actually get proper heat through the radiator in my study and I can not have the electric heater on all winter!
I should probably also check the electric fence is turned off now we don't have cows in - I did remember when I was at the fence the other day, but wasn't brave enough to touch it to see 😂 But I will get out to the outbuilding and check it's turned off.
LPG has gone up too - need to have a ring around about that before the winter, although again I might wait til the builders have gone.6 -
Loving the 1% is £70 guide - it's really added up, hasn't it, very nice.
Always something, as you say - at least the electric fence check can be done and dusted, rather than depending on another step being taken before you do anything. All this stuff can get quite intricate.2023: the year I get to buy a car6 -
Fingers crossed for PB day. I have found myself day dreaming about Agent Million (to the point I thought someone driving past recently might have been them!) I have been reading some winner's stories this week and reading of someone winning the top prize as their first ever win means there is hope for me yet!June 2025 - part 1 - £19,145 part 2 - £21,973 Total - £41,118 29 months to go!6

Well done you winners!! And Cath, I'm laughing at you dreaming about Agent Million - that's exactly the kind of thing I would do 😂😂
I've not checked yet- will go and do it now!6 -
Oooh, continuing my winning streak with another £50 😁😁 not quite a million... but better than nowt!6

March was our 1st draw, and we've had
1x £25
2x £50
4x £75
= £425 😮😁
Obviously they were all individual bonds winning £25, never anything more with a single bond.
Back to dreaming about Agent Million for next time...6 -
