I'm sat here, on my own, just about to go to bed.

A quick glance around me reveals 3 lamps are on, the kitchen light is on and the TV is on in the lounge.

Add to this, the PC and monitor, and the radiator, and the mobile phone (never used at this time of night).

Its a disgrace.

Opps, Forgot the radiators downstairs.

Cheers.

Generally I'm not that bad though.

Nope....

I can't afford to. Those days where it's been cold this winter I've been wearing an extra jumper, and my big coat and fishing hat.

The main problem I find, is trying to type with cold hands or gloves!

A good tip is to keep your hands warm on the cooker, whilst cooking!

Thank, mother earth, summer is coming. They all think I'm a vagabond down at the jobcentre, because my hair and facefuzz got long. I just said that it keeps me warm and saves me the price of a haircut.

They were a bit shocked last week because I had an interview so I had to have a haircut.

SAVE THE PLANET, get long hair! I think we're all on a trip back to the 70's myself. Next think you know the miners will be striking again!

I used to have a coin operated meter but that broke and the landlord has been too lazy to change it, so I've had free electricity for ages now Pity I'm at work most of the time and can't take advantage.

I tend to waste lots of food though, can't buy half a loaf of bread so I just buy one and throw half away, it's cheaper to buy a whole lettuce than to buy parts of it so I'll buy a whole lettuce and throw away the 3/4 that I don't use. Same with most other vegetables. I don't like doing it but if you live by yourself then it's just how things are.

You can get smaller loaves of bread but usually just as expensive as full size ones!
