Big step forward

Good news just come in the post! We are changing our electricity supplier to Good Energy, and have now got a change-over date of 22nd September; from then, all our electricity will be from renewable sources, something I've hankered after for years. OH keen too, but more interested in the money side. However, it seems we are paying 2.00 per month less than we were with Southern ELectric, despite Good Energy's unit price and standing charge both being higher, and the fact they increased their porices by 16% at the start of this month. Refund expected back from SE too, which will be nice. Our electricity usage must have reduced even further, which is very good news both on the ecological front and on the money front. There's not much more we can do, I don't think; cost will rise over winter with the small electric heaters in two fo the bedrooms for the children, but both are on timers. We need to get more wood stored for burning and seasoning for further down the line. We don't ahve gas here, so it's wood for heating and water, supplemented by coal, which we are trying to wean ourselves from. Tricky to keep the Rayburn in overnight without coal, though, but we are working on that one.
