Cost of living increases

[Tinks]

Been putting cleaning the kitchen equipment off for ages but the washing machine and the self-cleaning oven couldn't wait any longer. The washing machine ran for 90 minutes at 90°c and the oven at 250°c for 120 minutes. The smart meter exploded with delight and I cried.

Try putting Aspirin in the machine to clean on normal wash. I use it all the time
Use a Paracetamol to clean an Iron (doesnt need all these fancy cleaning stuff)
Oh and I swear by white vinegar to help with general cleaning too

We use white vinegar in our washing machine on a 60* wash, with no clothes in it, works a treat.

White Vinegar is brilliant for lots of cleaning and if you add a lemon to it is even better.
I never use fabric conditioner in the machine. When washing sheets/towels etc add a little Soda Crystal to the drum. It really does help soften the towels.

My smart meter is like having children in need on in the background.

Every time I look the total is shooting through the roof.

I could hit £150 for this week.

Why? It's only a meter.

 

[kaymac]

Ah, but they are not just meters , as has been the false claim since first rolled out, they are a means for energy suppliers to switch people over onto a prepayment plan / tariff at the touch of a button....

...without reason? Where's the problem? We pay for most other things as we use them.
