    All the rads are turned right down, the builders showed us that when we moved in. And to be honest we hardly ever have the heating on.

    Its the electricity bill that is the problem :twisted:

    Probably something to do with 5 tv’s, 2 pc’s an electric cooker, 4 clock radios, 3 stereos and too many lights (they are all energy saving ones though lol).

    I do switch everything completely off when not in use.

    As I said I will bin British Gas (who do my elec) when Im in credit and go elsewhere.

    Cheers 8)

    If you get a hglossy magazine (stolen from the doctors waiting room to save pennies) then selotape a few pages to the screen of each tv turning the pages randomly to give the impression of a programme to save having to turn them on, go to bed earlier so you dont need the alarm clocks, eat salads and cold meats to save using the cooker, hum out loud rather than have the stereo, and get a life to avoid using the PC you should be in credit and able to change suppliers in no time :lol:

    Dont thank me tho, thank my mum for being a haggis :lol:

    us yorkshire folk are known to be tight wads, i found the best savings by buying a terraced house [one of 6 in the street] we never need the heating on as our neighbours are on solid fuel systems it warms our house a treat and we save enough each year to go to either the tt races or a good weekend in scarborough for the bike racing. cant beat it shazzgoona… :lol: :lol:

    Same here we are in the middle too, and we have a sunspace at the back, that is like a conservatory but it is all glass and goes up the length of the house so keeps all the energy in.

    Cant sit in it in the summer unless your a plant though. :wink:
