Good to hear from you.I haven’t used my oven for two years since I got an air fryer. A podcast I listen to they compared the cost of cooking Sunday dinner £3 in the oven and 17p in the air fryer.I don’t have great memories of my 40th, my mum was in the final stages of a brain tumour and sadly lost her battle a week after.I’m sure you’ll find a nice way to mark the day 😊I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping) -.literally have been run over by a bike, mobility scooter and a car - still here 💪2

I’m sorry to hear that. My auntie gets her results on Thursday. After having cancer last year we’re pretty prepared for what they’re going to say.Sun_Addict said:Good to hear from you.I haven’t used my oven for two years since I got an air fryer.

I’ve noticed my electric bill staying quite steady which isn’t expected. I genuinely think it’s because I haven’t switched on the oven in months.XSeptember 2017 Debt = £25330

Glad you got your tax code sorted. I’m only putting heating on for wee while to take the chill out as it’s getting cold here. It was only 6 degrees the other morning going to work.Did you get your £66 credited to your energy account this month. I cancelled my budget direct debit and pay variable dd with what I use, although it was supposed to start last month but they didn’t do it right so it’s next month now. Doesn’t suit everyone if you like to budget the same amount each month.Hope you’ve had a relaxing Sunday3
