The Water Resolution

Hi I’m sorry you haven’t heard from me in ages – I guess you both are managing without me and my opinions! Today I want to talk about water again. After the resolution in April 2019 we have tried really hard to keep our weekly water consumption below 2m3 and have been fairly successful, except … Continue reading The Water Resolution →

November 2019

Sorry I’m late with November’s resolution – I’ve been on holiday (just to make you both jealous) in Majorca and somehow couldn’t find the time! We discussed possible plans at the airport during our three-hour delay but I didn’t get as far as writing it up. So November’s resolution is To eat red meat a … Continue reading November 2019 →

October 2019 Resolution

So it’s time for October’s resolution already! Where is this year going? We’ve been wondering what to do about our car use.

How is the Water Use Going?

We're quite pleased with how we have limited our water use since the water meter was installed. We have 23 weeks of data in order to establish whether we are hitting our target of no more than 2 cubic metres per week. As you can see from the chart, sometimes we make this.

September 2019 Resolution

So whether you are waiting with baited breath (what does that even mean?) or couldn’t give a monkey’s, we have decided on our September resolution.

Anyway, from September we will … Continue reading September 2019 Resolution →

Quick June update

A quick update for June - we've rejoined the library. Ok so my reading tastes aren't exactly high-brow but these are just the sort of books I would buy in paperback or for my kindle or from the charity shop. So we're saving money and resources as well as making sure the author gets … Continue reading Quick June update →

June’s Resolution

We’ve been tossing a few ideas around about our June resolution and decided that we need one that doesn’t cost anything so we’ve decided to: Re-join the library This may seem very trivial and insignificant but alongside it we will try very hard not to buy books for ourselves, especially new ones. We’re suckers for … Continue reading June’s Resolution →

How Did April Go?

So how did April’s resolution go? To remind us, what it was: We had a water meter fitted Not very exciting but VERY environmental. We’re doing OK. it was fitted right at the end of March so we even had a bonus of £5 paid into our new account that we's paid for last year. … Continue reading How Did April Go? →

Lent Round-Up

Lent is over now and I have no doubt you are desperate to know how I got on. I have had a total of zero enquiries about it, so wait no longer! I didn't quite manage something every day, and I have to admit to a bit of cheating, where I perhaps sent two emails … Continue reading Lent Round-Up →
