Thanks for the petrol filling tips, Caryn. I read the same thing somewhere. Problem is mornings are always a big rush for work and weekends ... er ... hard to get up. But still, at the prices that petrol is retailing for these days, it may be time I sacrificed some sleep.
Btw, some one has been sending round a cartoon that says, considering how expensive it is to fill up on petrol, it's about time we started drinking instead of driving 😉
I use a timer switch -- hardly S$20.00 -- to regulate a light bulb in my living room that I switch on when I expect to be away from home till late. Living alone most of the time, I do need the light as a safety device -- to give the impression that someone's home. Perhaps someday I will consider installing a burglar alarm instead though that too would eat up electricity, I guess.
Edited by Bonheur - 15 years agoThanks so much for the petrol filling tips. Have past them onto my parents.
We have a backyard, so we normally dry clothes on the washing line but the washing machine is a must, I don't see an alternative to that. 😆 Got a couple of light saver bulbs up but they can be a bit dull at times. As for plastic bags, well they've started charging 2 pence per bag in some stores like Marks & Spencers so that's got us using alternative means.
My room light is also swtiched off atm though it 10pm and therefore very dark. But that's me being too lazy to get up and switch it on rather than being energy efficient. 😆
And ^^ Bonheur, oh damn, I always thought that using electricity in preference to battery, preserves the battery of a laptop. Whoops 😆. It's reaching it's 2 year birthday though, and it seems okay, or so I think.
Yup..
