I’m currently £192 in credit on my Eon Next account. They’ve reduced my DD to £2.32 a month and I’ve asked for £125 partial refund to be processed.Morning all. A Len Goodman. SEVEN! That’ll be the slice of homemade bread at 10pm. In my defence I was reading 4.8 at 9.50, don’t know how that happened. Could have been the two hours of gardening I did earlier in the day. I’ve also had two unicorn days on the bounce.
Wet and miserable at the moment, set to last the day I would say. Glad we got the garden tidied up yesterday, last cut of the lawn, tomatoes and courgette plants dug up and raised beds all nice and weed free. There was still courgettes growing, in November! Fortunately, last week’s frost had gotten to them and they’re now in the compost heap! I still have bags full in the freezer I really didn’t want anymore! 😳
@ColinUK talking of heating. We’ve been very frugal with our gas and electricity for months now, I’ve not had the tumble dryer on since last winter. Mr Eggy has turned the temperature down on the hot water, we now don’t need to turn the dial down in the shower to add cold water, it is just perfect. We’ve done other things, like utilising the oven to its full capacity. We used to have lights burning all day as it’s a low ceiling dark cottage, we’ve knocked them off until it really is dark. It all takes planning but it turns out all this has been worth it. After logging into our BG account last night we saw there was a bill ready. We are in credit by £800, they’ve reduced our DD by £30 ( they had raised it £80) and they have offered us a credit of £650, which we have taken. It might as well be in our bank as theirs. We live in an old draughty house and our next job is to buy a big heavy curtain for the front door, and insulate our en-suite a bit better. This was built 20 years ago in a void in our dorma roof and wasn’t done properly ( Mr Eggy was the builder)! Currently, Mr Eggy is obsessed with our smart meters, I feel a spread sheet coming on, but it’s paid off, so far. We haven’t had any really cold weather yet!
Have a good day folks. 🙂
Morning all, 5.1 for me, two days running!
We have two coal fires, living room and dining room. I’m a dab hand at paper sticks and lighting fires without the aid of fire lighters. We also burn logs which we get from our eldest daughter who has a farm. There’s always some tree falling down.8.8 this morning (bit piggy last night). Sitting in my fleecy dressing gown and bed socks - no heating on here but got a few stoves and very good log supply. Our heating is so complicated (water source heat pump) that much to my hubby’s Joy I don’t understand how to change any settings. It really frustrates me though that I need him to do it. He goes off to Oz for a week on business later this month so I must make sure I know what’s what then! Luckily I’m a dab hand at lighting a fire Have a good day everyone x
Mark and my brother (& sons) are a bit hooked on being lumberjacks. Whenever they see a fallen tree they get in touch with the landowner who invariably is very happy for them to take it away. We've got a car trailer so they take that off and load it up with huge rounds. They then spend hours splitting it with our very fancy log splitter before making a Holz Hausen log pile and leaving it to season for a couple of years - Mark also wears checked shirts!We have two coal fires, living room and dining room.

My Gran had a coal fire and we used to make paper knots for lighting the fire. Not so easy now as people don't have Newspapers.We have two coal fires, living room and dining room.
