    Default Waiting all month...

    to see the new Gas/Electric bill and today it came!! It was twenty dollars cheaper than last month!!! WOO HOO!!

    Some changes I made this month were to line dry my clothes, run the dishwasher at night and air dry the dishes, Keep the A/C set at 83 or higher during the day and no lower than 80 at night. Keep lights off, turn my computer off at night, unplug all appliances that we are not using. Etc... I am so happy to see some progress made. I just needed to share. By now we'd normally be seeing bills closer to the 200 range, but this one was only 130!!!

    WTG!! I wish I could make some more adjustments on our power bill but with DH and DS "hot" all the time and me with my Hot Flashes... well the themostat is set at 78-80 and that's as high as we can stand it.

    I am hoping to see a change in our power bill too.
