I cut back and cut back.....
I thought we'd done really well this past year on saving money spent on gas and electricity. We almost sit in the dark, have a wood burning stove, sit in blankets and read by candle-light (ok, not quite but you get the drift). We've become desensitised to the cold somewhat and if the heating is on we do get rather hot and bothered, as it's now alien to us. Imagine my demotivation when I got hubby to check the readings and fed them into the meter readings online, only to have the sums come back that, indeed, we hadn't saved a single penny! This time last year the amount was the same. Ok, yes, the consumption HAS gone down but the ££££s, well, not one penny saved. I suppose the only consolation is that it would have been much, much higher with inflated prices now. Where's that duvet......
