Yogi, well done on a successful grocery mission 
I agree that gas and electricity prices are too high but was surprised that this country was cheaper than the average European country.

A bit of a surprising article on the BBC website today which looks at energy costs across Europe. In the article there's a graph of European capitals in order of electricity cost and a graph for gas cost. London is below the average cost for electricity (17th out of 23 capitals) with Berlin 1st being 60% more expensive. Again London is below the average cost for gas (21st out of 22 capitals - no figure for Helsinki) with Stockholm 1st being 165% more expensive,

I don't care what those graphs say, we are still paying too much for electricity and gas!
I have done my grocery shopping.
I agree 
we should all get a years refund
Well done on doing your shopping Yogi 
did you encounter any trolley rage 
I have finally got all my Christmas cards 
Now just have to write on them and post the ones that need posting 
A year's refund would be great.
No trolley rage.
I'm going to post my cards tomorrow.
Hmmm *checks Yogi's local A&E for damaged shins and limbs* 
At the rate i'm going posting won't occur until next week

I was too, I think our prices are extortionate, I would have said we were probably the highest in Europe, just goes to show.

I was surprised that we were cheaper than so many others.
I bet the electricity and gas companies now use this survey to justify their price hikes.

I'm not sure the aticle is a survey as it seems to have been written by a BBC business reporter. What the article doesn't do is to compare the prices with the median (average) income of people in those countries.

That's a good point. I wonder how we compare on the salary/wages graph?

Going for a bath, then another early night.
Goodnight everyone, sweet dreams.
Hugs for Summer, Moonie and any other night owls.
Hehe cosy great owls tonight moonie
I've just had a nice bath, and now I feel sleepy!
I'll try to remain awake a while longer though.
Hope you've had a good day moonie
I was wondering about the cost of energy bills vs wages in Europe too, it wouldn't surprise me if they earned more- or certainly paid less tax than the u.k.
Night yogi

Good evening Sweet :kiss; 
I thought those owls where appropriate as Yogi was off for a bath and now you have had one too so doubly appropriate
Glad you enjoyed your bath and if you feel tired then its best to go. Don't want you flopping out 
Won't be long moonie lol
How well are you sleeping these days?
How well are you sleeping these days?
good morning 
Good morning everyone. It is still dark outside but I can tell that the weather is dry, for the moment.
Moonie, I love the bathing owls.
Beautiful sunrise pic, Summer.
Have a good day everyone.
Good morning everyone
We have had rain all night and its not looking a whole lot better now. We are promised rain most of the day 
I hope its better where you are
Sweet, lovely piccie
Yogi, when you said you where off for a bath, my mind when too owls, bathing owls as a 'goodnight' theme
Then Sweet came on later and said she was off for a bath too and that sealed it
El, I hope we all just have the odd shower but its not looking promising tbh...
Have a good day Buddies 
Good morning everyone, it's dry here for the moment, rain is about but I don't know how much we will be getting.
Have a good day everyone
With the introduction of a 5p charge on plastic bags coming in from October 2015, some items will be exempted from the charge:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-25240097
The most important of these is that goldfish will be exempted 
El! I'm glad the goldfish won't get charged
Squiggle I love that piccie!
Aaaah I see I can't be Summer in one window and Hagatha in another 
Just so you know, it's me!
Just so you know, it's me!
Summer is that you? If everyone starts turning up in disguise it will be chaos

I think most of us here are discombulated
I didn't want to say anything, but it's all GaGa's fault, we thought it was just a name for the host but no, it is slowly turning us all absolutely
