Paid Nearly £600 For 900 Litres Of Oil This Morning.

Could I save any money by buying a balaclava and thermals?

[joggerjayne]

Yes, but you'd look a bit of a pratt sitting at home in a balaclava.

[sandyRoe]

I could turn the electricity off. Double savings and nobody would see me.

[joggerjayne]

But we'd never know you'd done it, because you're web router would go off.

:0(

[sandyRoe]

or pretend it was a knitted gimp mask

[sandyRoe]

I agree in a balaclava I would look a pratt. But in a knitted gimp mask I'd look like a BDSM trend setter

[albaqwerty]

Depends what colour of thermals.

[sandyRoe]

They'd need to be black to match the headgear.

[joggerjayne]

scary !

[albaqwerty]

That's OK then, black will be fine.

I spent some of last year's heating allowance on a duvet jacket and thermals. Not regretting it yet.

[society]

My sister just told me she paid 9,000.00 kroners this month for heating.

[sandyRoe]

Is that about £900 for just 1 months heating?

[society]

That's just for the last month, Sandy. That's a lot!

[sandyRoe]

And I was thinking it was costly here to heat a place. Does your sister live in somewhere like Hammerfest up in the Arctic Circle?

You might be interested in this fuel comparison chart, Sandy.
I'm currently working on a renovated farmhouse with a wood pellet boiler.

Cost to run similar to gas. .....................

She lives in Kristiansand, that's south.

[sandyRoe]

That gas seems very cheap. Here in Belfast I thought it was about the same price as oil.
It's only a 3 bedroom semi I'm heating and the oil today should last a fair while. Still, £600 is a good amount.

[ChillDoubt]

As an ex Serviceman who toured Northern Ireland 3 times in the 80's I have to say I'm a little perturbed at the thought of sandy from Belfast in a balaclava!

[sandyRoe]

A true story. Back in the early 70s my old mother, she was a good age then, had a wig and she'd left it in a drawer where I had a long forgotten beret. The house was searched and the two incriminating items found.
I spent an uncomfortable couple of hours in Hastings St barracks explaining that they weren't a paramilitary disguise.

[ChillDoubt]

How did you explain the beret, sandy?
Never had you down as a Toulouse Lautrec so that must have been some story!
LOL
