It's getting tough out there. Feeling the pinch?

Did you quote someone? The only thing I can think of is that you quoted someone's post and put your reply in the quote box. Thus making your reply too short.

Yes, I was thinking that a well. It’s very easily done on the updated forum.

Definitely seeing a difference now and making changes, which in all honesty I should have been doing anyway but hey ho.

luckily we had a new boiler fitted 12 months ago which is more efficient than the fossil we had. Hybrid car I decided to get 12 months ago which at the time didn’t seem like a life line but it really is now.

this year I decided to try my hand at urban food gardening that is going well. 

It looks like I’ve been preparing for the slump sun consciously by hoarding moisturisers, make up and perfume …… so I won’t need to buy anything to a very long time 

However I’m now working from home…… which is a good thing in one way. I had a high street shop and high streets have took a huge drop, when your out there in the thick of it, it looks stark. So I didn’t renew my lease and now I purely sell online, which I’ve only been doing for a month…….but it means I’m at home, with the laptop on, kettle boiling so obviously high electricity usage. But hey I’m saving money on shop rent and business rates. 

So my next plans are

1. to definitely meal plan - I kind of do already but seem to get off track and a take away slips in now and again. 

2. buy a thermal flask to reduce kettle boiling ( any recommendations would be appreciated) 

3. swap all light bulbs to energy saving 

and I’m just working my way around the house to see where else I can save money.

I can highly recommend any Stanley flask. I boil the kettle in the morning and it stays hot for hours in mine

I've noticed it's done on hitting the backspace.

I haven't yet been able to find a way around getting out of the reply box at the bottom.

That happened to me the other day- I could NOT get out of the quote box.

came back later- it has saved it! Still no joy.

just gave up in the end: I think it's called 'progress!'

shut it down and requote, it's the only way...

Think I've used Xtrl+z if I've found myself in the quoted area - but that it only of use if you notice quickly and so aren't deleting a lot of your own text.

Picked up some good yellow stickered stuff at the co-op at about half 6 this evening - chicken goujons, minted lamb kebabs on skewers, breaded cod fillets, Richmond sausages, mini sausage rolls, baby leaf salad, pack of peppers and a wholemeal loaf. £6.41 altogether but £1.35 of that was milk (with 25p off with the co-op app). Quite pleased with that as it'll do me for my work lunches this week and an evening meal or two.
