Electricity and Gas and Water

[ailbhe]

We have recently changed electricity and gas suppliers so that our electricity is from 100% renewable sources. And it appears that, on investigation, a water meter would cost us money, so we need to reduce water consumption a bit before we can afford to get one of those. That means fixing the shower, for a start. And the dripping tap in the bathroom. A modern dual-flush loo would help too.

I habitually run the tap when I brush my teeth with a conventional toothbrush, but not when I use an electric one. Isn't that odd?

We also really, really need to get the loft ceiled and insulated; it costs money in winter and makes the house stifling hot in summer.

Can't do nuffin while I'm like this though. Perhaps Rob can see to some of it while I'm away.

We need to get insulation in our house too. We are on really strict water restrictions because of the long term drought here at the moment. So we are rigging up to run grey water onto the garden as you arent allowed to water the garden now. We have a dual flush loo but I want to look into green electricity too. I am about to write a letter to the local council to see if they will collect recycleables more than once every two weeks as we fill the 240lt bin for recyclables in less than a week so we always have a pile waiting to be put out.
