    Just had my water bill for last month............P260

    The Electricty Bill will follow in the next few days. It's usually between P2000 - P2500 for a month

    We had a new LPG Gas tank on October 9 2016 at a cost of P600 and it's still going. Must be almost empty but still going strong with no signs of finishing.

    We just never think about usage of electricty Steve. We do what we want when we want and use whatever electrical appliance we want when we want.

    Last night we went into the local Farmfoods and the bill was a shock, even Emma had to say something.
    Having been using Aldi more times now we could tell there is a difference in price compared to both shops.
    Aldi will have more of our cash from now.
    Look after the pennies the pounds will look after themselves.

    These latest LED lights are probably cheaper to buy and run than candles

    About a year ago we bought 2 LED lights with their own mini solar panels which we located just above them on the terrace roof..
    They work fantastic.. Technology can sometimes be an amazing thing.
