Gas and Electric Usage - November Bill

As you may or may not remember (or care to remember) we are once again working on trying to lower our utility usage. I would like to say it is because I am soooo concerned about the environment that I feel it is my duty. I would like to say that. The reality is that I don't want another $250 Consumers bill. Blah.

I got the bill today. No, we aren't special and get mail service on Sunday. I sent the boy to the mailbox to retrieve the bill that I am sure was put there on Monday or something.

Our bill for 11-09 to 12-12 is $185.70. Happy Birthday to Meeeee indeed.

Let me point out to you that I live in Michigan. It is insanely cold in Michigan. The funny thing is... it is colder this year than it was last year. I swear.

Now of course, any money I have saved on the gas/electric bill is probably being spent on herbal tea and hot cocoa, but thats not the point. The point was to lower the gas/electric bill and not the herbal tea and hot cocoa bill.

I had to LOL when I read that the purpose was to lower your bill, not the cocoa bill. :)

I live in the UK and have moved into an apartment recently. I do not have gas. Everything in my apartment is electric. My last monthly bill was £175.80, which is about $350 (maybe a bit more).

Viola,
That is really high! I am afraid of what it is going to go up to when we move.
