    Default YeeePPPPPiiiieeeeeee! on electric bill.

    I can't believe it....$66.77 last month, wow I was able to drop that electric bill another $26.00 . That $26.00 is going into my EF, I'm doing the happy dance Funny I was actually wanting to get the bill, to see how I did...I was watching everything so careful. We had mantainence come in and fix all 3 of our drippy faucets (a couple were dripping warm water). I have only used the clothes dryer a couple times to dry and to fluff clothes. I have been running the dishwasher and opening the door before the heat dry kicks on. We only had to use the heat last weekend, when it turned a little cold, and we have been using the BBQ a lot the last few weeks. Well I quess I better go hang a load of laudry

    Great Job.
    I couldn't wait to get my bill for this month. Because we did not have any air or heat on all 1/2 of march and then April. Got the bill today and almost fell over. It was about the same maybe $10 less. Duh! I forgot I wanted to set it up on a budget so the bill is the same no matter what. Scared me. Then next year around March 1st I'll call to see if I paid to much this way or need to adjust it. I just don't want any surprises during the winter next year.
