we are the same Ann my oven is fan assisted and cooks quicker, and we have double glazed windows, in fact our house tends to be warm most of the time

i blame the stupid fuel prices, its getting passed a joke now it this country

if you pay monthly by dierect debit you get discounts, but even that has been reduced now and up until this last bill we have always been in credit sometimes by only a few pounds but other times by alot, so there getting the money in advance

At the moment we cannot afford to pay monthly so our next bill in 3 months wont have any discounts :rant:

Ive filled the car up with petrol today, its £1.28 a litre compared with £1.25 a fortnight ago, and next month there is a vat rise of up to 5p a litre going on :rant:

I'm not sure, but I think owning a car is still classed as a luxury item, but it isn't for me, any more than it is for Aitch. Without my car I would be marooned. I'm not classified as disabled, but I can't walk very far these days. I'd be able to catch a bus into Wigan town centre, but then I'd have to walk just over a mile to work, and I definitely couldn't manage that any longer.

I definitely wouldn't be able to get to my doctor's surgery either without a car, or shopping, and a taxi is out of the question now.

I never fill my car up 'cos I can't afford it and up until the recent petrol rise, I was just putting in £10 a week which did me nicely as I don't go very far, but I put £12 worth in yesterday so I'll see how long it lasts me. :(

Sorry to have gone off at a tangent to this topic about it being COWD, Oy. I guess it's a sort of natural diversification from the original concept. :E
