I can cite mine from memory but I won't bore you all with the details. One of the benefits of living this side of the sign that says 'Here Be Dragons'...free prescriptions. Although I'm on five different meds a day for the rest of my natural, NHS England doesn't count my condition as chronic for the purposes of prescription fees. I'd save if I bought a prepay deal, but still would cost me over £110 a year in the old country. That's five weeks 'leccy bill!

It's swings and roundabouts though. I might be a long way from civilization but that is pretty much outweighed by free meds and cheaper beer! I count my blessings 😇🤣🤣🤣👍

Yep used to have one of those prepayment jobbies, but having passed the point of no return 😂 many moons ago, I get them at no charge to me. 👴

Same here. I was on BP tablets for about 20 years when I had to pay for them. I was weaned off them just before I qualified for free scripts. I could be saving a fortune if I was still on them 😂

Would love to be weaned off them, but the lovely dragon 🐉 says no way. 😂. Would save a small fortune on travel insurance. 😉 I do exactly what I'm supposed to (no kidding) but it's non negotiable. 😂
Still there's worst things at sea. 👴 😂

No idea. I get sea sick just thinking about going on a boat ⛵. 😂

Thanks for sharing these overviews @WizzyWigg and @JoeSoap it's always great to see what changes everyone has made and to see if anyone has been able to make some energy savings. 💸

I've personally made more changes than ever in my house, we've dusted off our IHD monitor and really been mindful on what we're using. We've also invested in a brand new boiler which is much more energy efficient and we've already made a savings by just having it installed. And I know Slow Cookers and Air fryers have become super popular! Something I've yet to invest in! Did you manage to get yours yet @JoeSoap? 😀

Yep! See here for the famous photo. Tried it once but overcooked the Spanish Chicken a la Chicken Tonight 😂.

As for power saving, probably not much with my first effort after leaving it on for 9 hours. I won't know for sure as I can't use my Bright app due to my meters not communicating. Have I mentioned my smart meter and IHD tariff problems? 🤔
