How many TV and radio / hi fi s do you have ..? ( I'm thinking of my electric bill here and cringing !!)

We too have a high electricity bill, probably down to the many appliances in the house and the electrics for two ponds. We have three TVs, four radios & three Hi Fi's plus dvd players.[not all in use at the same time]

Do you cook by gas or electricity?

Gas

Do you use a tumble drier ? ( that will shoot your bill up )

Only when the weathers bad, don't like wet washing hanging indoors plus I like to iron it the same day if possible.

Yes , myself or my hubby ...lol

I don't have a dishwasher , but my ex sister in law said that a marriage certificate should come attached to a dishwasher !.. Note she is my ex sil !!

Do you make home made soups ?

Yes - all cooked veg, including cauli/broc stalk is blitzed and seasoned and frozen if not needed at that time.

Do you walk/bus rather than driving short distances?
(assuming it is not a 'supermarket shop')

Most of our shopping is a large supermarket shop which we usually do twice a week, if it was only for something minor than we would walk as we have a few local shops within 10 mins.

Do you have good public transport where you live?

Yes there is a half hourly service in each direction,which would take you to the nearest 2 large towns and even to Cardiff, but because we live at the top of a lot of Welsh valleys, to cross valleys to another town would mean a few different connections........ I drive anyway .

Only a conservatory which is part brick, part glass.

Do you go to a keep fit class or attend a gym?

No
I do half an hours brisk walking each day and exercise at home
