    Thumbs up YEA! I don't have to pay the electric bill

    ........this month! Thanks Ladies! All the tips here have paid off!!!
    It is my annual adjustment and I don't have to pay my 57$ electric bill AND I have $15.35 credit for next month too!!!! And my monthly bill is going down to $50 a month to from $57 a month that is a saving of $7 a month!!!!!!!!
    That $7 will pay for my increase in internet payment (thanks to you lovely ladies I went to unlimited time but I am still on dial-up) with a couple of $$ to spare.

    But I have to pay $13.17 extra on my natural gas bill this month, even though we've been freezing. But I guess it isn't bad considering the hikes in prices and our monthly payment will not be going up.YES!!!!!

    So I have $50 extra this month!!!!!! So now I can buy a few things for the children....Dd needs snowboots (she is wearing mine) and Ds needs a bike helmut (he smashed his , shows how necessary it is!) so we will be going to the thrift store! Plus a few Christmas gifts.....

    I am so happy ........it is like found money!
    Thanks for all the tips. Hanging the laundry all over the house paid off!

    I'm doing a happy dance for you Holly. I agree, that hanging of clothes really pays off. I only wish I had kept track of all the savings from doing that over 20 years now.

    Great job.
