    Talking Found money!

    Yesterday the gal from our fuel oil company called and said "Do you know that you have an almost $1,500 credit?" She then went on to ask me if I knew why we only got 64 gallons and 22 gallons on our last 2 auto deliveries. I said why yes I do know the answer to that. With my hot flashes I kept the heat down between 58º and 60º all winter! Has to be the only GOOD thing about having hot flashes!

    We had several options and we choose to have the money refunded to us to put in the savings so we can earn interest on it instead of them. And so our monthly budget payment is also going down from $218 to $150 this next year.

    Woo Hoo! Heck yeah, why let the gas company earn interest on your hard earned money. Way to go!

    And thanks, I just never could think of one good reason for hot flashes, LOL.

    That's terrific news! Very smart to ask for a refund. You know you never hear the positives about hot flashes, guess they're far & few between. Still, what a wonder surprise!

    Wow! That is great!

    I had a $100 rebate with our electric bill that went through a few weeks ago and gave us an $11 credit. I was giddy at getting a negative balance electric bill. lol

    WOOHOO! That is awesome!! I don't blame you for taking the money so you could draw the interest.

    I guess hot flashes have a good benefit after all......lowering your utilities! LOL!
