You can never have enough...

[Lilith7]

I was complaining on farcebook about my last power bill, and a gentleman suggested I check the usage  and pointed out if my ancient (1965!!)  hw cylinder was not working properly it could account for a 50% increase in kwh s used. So, I checked. Previous months under 200. Last month 352...

Plumber call being organised by the landlords. And I sorted out the hot water cupboard stash. To save my blushes when a strange man is pawing through my nighties!

And that explains why the water has been so hot lately. Gods, some days I am just so stupid...

That's good news Hunni, hopefully it brings down the dreaded power bill - just paid mine earlier.
It really does annoy me,that every damned year the prices go up. Again. Just before winter, the miserable sods.

I wasn't really taught much in the way of fixing things; but I was taught to shoot.

Standard practice back then for country kids, although I didn't hear of any other girls who were taught.

Coming back from a quick visit to get one or two things, a middle aged woman said how good it was that I can still ride a bike. At my age.

Of course, it was only well down the road when i thought of a suitable reply  - I should have yelled "I'm only 35!"
