At 2.00pm today I read my gas and electric metres. I'll do the same thing for the next couple of weeks and see if I can get an average, then start to try and beat it every week. So, not doing anything special to save on it this week, but then I'll start.

and good luck with this.....:money:

Now my regular payment has gone into the account I'm at £12,888.......would like to try to be sub £12k by Christmas, but that would rely on some serious travel expenses so I doubt I'll manage it, but I'm feeling ultra inspired!

Do you get cashback from the credit card or is it just vouchers?

Just vouchers but there is a good choice......I try to use them to buy things I need, but can manage without, so a kind of treat! With my last one I bought a new feather pillow!!!

Have had quite an MSE week. September was ever going to be a hard month because of a massive CC bill generated in August (trip to see oh) but I think it's under control. ATM I'm concentrating really hard on 'le cochon' so that I can make an OP this month - I already paid the usual OP at the end of August as I was paid on the 29th, so that doesn't count now, lol! car tax due this month too and I'll be in the £170 category I think.

Had a gas bill today £4.90 instead of the £44.87 they had estimated!!!!!! Was defo worth reading the metre myself!!! (It was only for two months as I have changed provider, and was away two weeks as well). Still not too bad, hob and hot water. The heating will NOT be going on until I am shivering!!

I'll check my week's usage tomorrow at 2.00pm if I can find the piece of paper I wrote the readings down on!!!! Then time to see if I can cut back.

I have a bag of free windfalls from a friend, but I forgot them and left them in the office. I hope they don't turn into cider over the weekend!!!

I can't believe it!

All my birthdays have come at once, all my dreams have come true and I feel like I'm flying!
