We're going to have one of our garden walls rebuilt and I happened to be passing by the recycling place near me so I asked if I could bring bricks and how many would they tolerate? I thought there would be a limit
Was told I could bring as many as I wanted - so that's going to save me £200 for a skip!! I'm champing at the bit with me Dad's old masonry chisel to knock it all down!!

@Former Member Why do people think all these shootings occur, what's America's general consensus?
Do your energy bills cost anywhere close to £4,000 per annum?
We pay between £50-60 a month for electric and around the same per quarter for our gas = less than £1,000 per year (although our standing charges haven't been applied yet as our bills have not changed over the last year)

You’re lucky Renton ….mine went up from 120 a month …to 252 a month in April ….but since I’ve had my smart meter I’ve managed to get it back down to 200 .

It’s not a problem Renton
So you pay more for gas p/m than electric?
We pay three times more for electric!! I hate chatting money so what on earth am I doing LOL

Last message about finances LOL - I used to leave that all to the adults but now I'm meant to be the adult and it's awful. Our hot water and central heating is gas too.
We pay £50-60 p/m for electric and £55 a quarter for gas - although the bill for the previous quarter was £150 which we assumed was the standing charge addition (never knew there was such a thing!) and now it's back to approx £55 a quarter.
Wonder why ours has barely changed?

Per quarter ….are you sure you don’t mean per month ?
@Baz posted:Wow
thanx - I thought our electric was quite high - now it seems not - our gas has rarely been above £70 per quarter - thought that was a typical cost, but it's not. Odd cos we live in a very ordinary house (especially for someone born on Jesmond)

They said ALWAYS write your return address on any posted item
