OUCH !!!!!

Well we've been here in our little house for six weeks now with all our mod cons (did I mention we have a dishwasher for the first time ever ?!?!?) blithely throwing our clothes in the dryer and using the power of technology to automatically wash our dishes with heaters blazing merrily in every bedroom ...

Now you knew this was gonna come back and bite us in the butt, right ?

In spite of the fact that we have a coal range which we are using to run the wetback for hot water and that we have a fire in the lounge, and that all our cooking is gas ... somehow we still managed to chalk up a $600 power bill this month !!!

And THAT hurts a lot more than being a little chilly occasionally :(

Hey V. Yes, unfortunately we DID use that much ... when you add up the dishwasher, the dryer, a night store heater and three oil heaters going 24/7 then unfortunately it's true ...
