Frugal Lifestyle? Can I Keep Up With Myself

Just uploaded a folder full of pictures from the trip me & FDH took to Cornwall, England this month.

I was reading through some comments from a previous blog and i mentioned getting pictures for the street fair that we had last year. So here is the album

A little late posting but here goes.

Gas usage from Feb - March - 16 Cubit Feet

Ive tried my best in keeping the heating off and preserving my gas.

Electric Usage Feb - March

Electric 1 (Day) - 99 kWh Used
Electric 2 (night) - 19 kWh Used

Water - 4 Cubic Ft used

These are much better than Jan - Feb. Hope i can do the same next month.

Today i cleared out some of the recycling that I had in the flat as well as general waste.

Recyclable - 3 bags (YTD - 11)
General Waste - 2 bags (YTD - 6)

Glass:
Coffee jars: 590g x 1 (YTD - 4)
Medium Sauce Jars - 269g x 4 (YTD - 19)
Small jars - 175g x 1 (YTD - 3)
Total - 1.84 Kg (YTD - 7.5 Kg)

As i guessed i did havea gas leak

Funny enough my 6 month bill come today and i have used £300 worth of gas in 6 months!! Thats shocking!

So as i could smell gas yesterday I got FDH to ring National Grid today and within the hour they had sent someone to check it out and they found that i had a leak in a pipe just before the meter.

I am keeping my eye on the meter readings to see if that was the cause, my bill said that i had used almost 4000kWh of gas ...
