Really liking my new air fryer which i got from an independent energy advisor company. They came to see me, gave me 6 free light bulbs and ordered an air fryer because my very old oven must be costing a small fortune to run. My last air fryer broke a couple of years ago and I kept putting off buying a new one. Cooking is so much easier and chicken cook much better than the oven cooking.
Even if you think they cant save you money,its worth doing. They may come up with something or give you something that you didn't expect. I wasn't expecting a new air fryer which i received about 3 days later in the post or the fact someone changed my lightbulbs for me and gave me spares too.

I like this website too. If I need fuel I check in advance and see if I can top up while I'm in a different area. We are lucky that we have a lot of petrol stations nearby but prices can vary greatly and I only have to travel about 5 miles away for the price to reduce about 5p per litre which soon adds up. I do feel for people who live in more rural areas with little choice.
