Johnny Blaze Aug 2022 8:01am, 29 Aug 2022 28,250 posts	0 Johnny Blaze I've just updated my energy usage spreadsheet (yes, I am that sad). My estimated annual gas usage has dropped by 36% since 10/2019 and electricity by 13%. I put most of the gas drop down to being a Thermostat Nazi and progressively reducing the amount of time the boiler is on. But then again it could all be down to a milder winter. Who knows.

Muttley Aug 2022 9:09am, 29 Aug 2022 1,790 posts	0 Muttley I've saved a fortune over the years by never learning to drive or having a car. I have bought cars though. For the ex-Mrs Muttley (who scraped it the very next day and not long after wrote it off, with me and Muttley Jnr in it at the time). And for now-student Muttley Jnr. Marriage and parenthood are expensive

ThorntonRunner Aug 2022 12:19pm, 29 Aug 2022 6,118 posts	0 ThorntonRunner Just been given a provisional date for solar pv + battery installation of 29th November. If they're able to stick to that it will be at the short end of their estimate so good news
