Treasure the moments that you have. Savour them for as long as you can for they will never come back again.0 -

dunstonh had it right though. if the op can come back and tell us how much energy they use and a bit about their lifestyle then we can probably point them in the right direction.
failing that my advice is they consider turning the hot tub off during the week and stop mining crypto currencyAlmost everything will work again if you unplug it for a few minutes, including you. Anne Lamott
It's amazing how those with a can-do attitude and willingness to 'pitch in and work' get all the luck, isn't it?
Please consider buying some pet food and giving it to your local food bank collection or animal charity. Animals aren't to blame for the cost of living crisis.1 -

We part dry our washing on a clothes drying stand with a fan blowing over it. It can do most of the drying (very good for towels and hard to dry cotton fabrics), leaving them nearly dry and needing only a short spell in the dryer to finish them off. This will increase the moisture in the space it dries in, but some ventilation management (and milder days) helps here.
