    Use a dog for a hot water bottle  😀

    We get tesco delivered too, but the amount of plastic bags they give you is ridiculous, i always hand them back.

    I try to remember to load the washing machine before I go to bed so it is using the cheap rate electricity overnight and if i’m being really efficient I will cook a casserole overnight in the slow cooker.  Last one doesn’t happen that often  Grin

    only if you are on economy 7 – most rates are same day and night now (are you showing your age!!??)

    i have one – turn off electric garage door opener (incase u think i am dead posh – we have a 3 bed semi ok !!)

    You just pay for what you use and for the waste too! Not on a key, just a normal meter which counts how much you use  🙂

    those light bulbs…are you aware that if you break one in the house you must close the doors and evacuate the house for at least 15 minutes and take the dogs too…..i wont use them… my aged mother was given this warning by age concern

    so these things are minature fluorescents (SP?) then? which is reduculous as they are a huge contamination risk which is why you have to now leagally have them removed from your business due to the very high mercury content…so how are these bulds actually eco friendly?

    yes they are, bent round into bizarre shapes so that the tube is long enough and the “bulb” is a sensible size 😉

    incidentally – if you click the link today there are some interesting “sideline” stories to the right hand side too !!
