does anyone have a water meter? has it worked out cheaper? how many people are in your family? erm....think that's questioning over, thankyou xx

We have a water meter. We live in a new house so ours was built with it. We have a four bed detached house and there are two adults and three children. We pay about £30 a month on our water bill.

YOu can go to

Dumb Question Alert

How do you "air a duvet" ? I never really knew what that meant

Friend of mine works for Water Board. She said for families it's usually better not to have a meter, but if you live alone, or for couples with no children, a meter is often cheaper.

Sharon.. I either drag the duvet outside and hang it over the line for a blow.. OR I dangle it over the bottom of the bed and open the window and air it that way.

I am calm now.. just fed up.. af was due today but staying away.. ggrrrr.....

Sharon_1970_2

Pigpen - Thanks for that.

I always get "ratty" when AF is due but it usualy happens with me about a week to ten days before it appears and last for a couple of days. OH can tell when its coming. Have you tried vitamin B6 complex? I find that helps with my mood swings. Failing that a large glass of wine, or two helps!!

Pigpen, what is wrong with the bunnies?

One of the babies has a chest infection which we are hoping isn't pasteurella.. he has AB's and the prognosis is about 50-50 at the moment.. he has to go back on Friday.

The older bunny went for her myxy jab

Tiddles is just putting my boobs away lol..

pigpen

lol.. sharon.. I don't drink wine.. ever.. I usually have a day of uncontrollable frustration about 3 before AF arrives but skipped that this month.. so maybe I'll just be 3 days late.. again!

And if this naffing phone doesn't stop ringing I swear I'll scream down the phone!! lol.. I pick it up and hang up.. I haven't got the money to pay them.. surely they realise if I did I'd pay them.. morons!!!

Mudbath

thanks for the info regarding water meters sharon, i'll look on that website.

pigpen - hope your bunny improves quickly. poor little thing. your littlies must be worried xx

Evening all

My catnap turned into a couple of hours :eek:

Reporting a 2 lb gain this week :eek: At least I went to class. I wasnt going to bother, but changed my mind at 5 pm. I'm not very good at this dieting lark

Are you feeling better now Tia? Big hugs for you G&B.

I've got ironing to crack on with which I'll do when the Apprentice is on, appropriately enough I'll finish the kitchen off as well. It was tidy, but DD decided to bake. I made her clean the oven as she got meringue (sp?) everywhere. I'm so harsh

Hi Jamtart :wave: welcome to organised chaos You're doing great with your ebay challenge. You can give us some tips

CB - I think I forgot to say, that metal polish is just fab!!! Its cleaned the window handles a treat.

Stupid ebay question - does the 5p listings start from midnight tonight? I might get DD to take pics with her phone and start listing at midnight.
