Re: Are You Mean Or Generous When It Comes To Using..Water, Electricity Or Gas?
I can't think about it we use what we need, however I do query some members of the families needs occasionally, turning off lights seems foreign to one member of the family and another changes clothes twice or three times a day if she can get away with it making piles of washing !Re: Are You Mean Or Generous When It Comes To Using..Water, Electricity Or Gas?
We use what we need. We've spent quite a bit on house insulation, but that's pretty well paid for itself. Any new appliances are A+ or better and we're gradually replacing ordinary bulbs with LED lights. We have a rotary washing line and a clothes pulley, so we rarely use the tumble drier.Re: Are You Mean Or Generous When It Comes To Using..Water, Electricity Or Gas?
Definitely mean. I rarely switch lights on never mind leave them on. All unused switches are turned off, because I am informed that they still consume power even when not in use. I got a tv box a couple of months ago and found that my quarterly bill had risen by about £20. I am debating the box's future, will have to see if switching the box off overnight makes a difference? I hate the thought of enabling the greedy fools of the power companies, plus I am on my own so don;t use a lot of power anyway, but yes I'm keen to remain mean for my own sake and our dear old planet.Re: Are You Mean Or Generous When It Comes To Using..Water, Electricity Or Gas?
I am very aware of fossil fuels and the effect on world resources not to mention the electricity bill!Re: Are You Mean Or Generous When It Comes To Using..Water, Electricity Or Gas?
I'm as mean as a junk yard dog when it comes to fuel usage. I constantly go round switching off lights if my Granddaughter is staying over. Mrs H is meaner than me and sits with fingerless gloves, socks and a bobble hat on in bed! She is in the East wing bedroom and gets the sun in the morning so is spoilt really! I have to break the icicles off my Nose in the morning usually so this balmy weather can continue as long as it likes.Re: Are You Mean Or Generous When It Comes To Using..Water, Electricity Or Gas?
I just take care is all. I've noticed I would have to have the heating up very high to cure my cold feet so I opt for a hot water bottle now - or as well. I have a fairly new boiler system and it is awesome. The house has never been so warm and cosy. Great thing is it is so responsive and easy to control. My gas bill is pretty low too. My electric bill is a bit of a worry as I run a home server around the clock and it gobbles up a fair bit of juice.Re: Are You Mean Or Generous When It Comes To Using..Water, Electricity Or Gas?
We have my moments ...sometimes we are generous and sometimes
