Tent City!

Ok so I opened the power bill from last month and sensed Jeff have a heart attack across town at work.  Over $400 AGAIN!  He spit tacks after the previous bill so i made an effort to cut back during the day which resulted in me save a whole $20ish :(  So after fudging the details of this months bill when talking to Jeff (fortunately prompt payment discount dropped it down to around $370ish i think
so i gave that figure him) ive decided to make a much bigger effort.

Ive changed power companies thanks to powerswitch.co.nz and i've dragged out the clothes racks hence my home resembling some kind of hobo tent city!.  Unless there is some kind of washing emergency (such as Jeff not having work socks AGAIN opps) i will NOT use the dryer this month and watch out Josh your hot showers are being put on a time limit!  That boy will run the water cold every night if we dont drag him out!

My attempts to stop using the heaters so much have been destroyed by the weather gods giving us this crap wet weather with snow showers which basically means freezing cold temperatures but no settling snow to at least make it look pretty and worthwhile suffering.  Therefore being home all day with kidlets means heaters are cranked sucking more power than i'm saving most likely *sigh*

To top it all off now that we have very close to no $$$ in the bank the BEST sales are being dropped in the mailbox daily!!!  Toy sales full of awesome stuff i could put away for Christmas and Bed Bath and Beyond have awesome deals on towels and bedding all stuff i really WANT to replace but dont NEED to buy damn damn damn!  The credit card has very little on it and its sooo tempting AND in the words of the shopoholic it would be an investment.............................hmmm dont think Jeff would agree unless of course i can find a giant metal chicken

Oh well off to list stuff on trademe and hope it sells quick so i can get my shopping fix...........
