    Hi all,

    I haven't had anything to report for a while and I'm not going to now but I have lots to come in if all goes to plan, however I'm not going to list them until they happen as I want to ensure that the payments are made first. If all goes OK then I will more than reach my target of £500 so the windows will be done in the new year.

    I'm off on hols on Sunday so have been very good at using everything from the fridge and freezer so we can turn them off whilst we are away.

    I'm also thinking of changing my gas/elec supplier as they have just changed the operating of the accounts so we would have one bill for both, they would only provide a statement half-yearly and review the account once a year. I'm going to contact them as I'm not happy with this arrangement as I would rather any overpayments are not excessive and in my account not theirs. I'm going to start to look around anyway to gauge other suppliers.

    I hope everyone has a good Christmas

    Enjoy the festive season and all the best for a prosperous new year!
  • Hope I've not missed you Eva - well done on all your achievements (both financial and human!) this year - have a wonderful christmas and New year and here's to those windows being down ASAP once 2009 dawns! :beer:

    Stuart - in this house it is Mr EH who does the ironing. I buy my clothes carefully and then wash and dry them to ensure as little ironing needs doing as possible - he however insists on 100% cotton double-cuff shirts so he's the one who's going to iron them! I have also, it has to be said, carefully cultivated an apparent complete inability to iron over the years which ensures that even though I occasionally offer to iron one for him, he always hastily turns me down! :cool:

    I can iron and do so sometimes! However, I should do more I concede...

    All the best
