    Nah the unit is fine. That amount for a home that's running it's central AC all month was pretty typical. I know some people who were a good bit higher and most were in that ballpark. Price per unit went through the roof this summer with the cost of fuel and we already had crazy costs per unit.

    Just checked and it's .5975c a unit and I used 1282 units. That plus 10% VAT is the $842.60

    I got my weekly update from last week’s consumption. Last week was the week I bumped my thermostat up 3-4 degrees and turned all my ceiling fans on high non-stop. In spite of it being hotter last week than the week prior, I am now saving about $2-3 dollars a day. Okay so that is now $60-$100 a month I can spend on beer and unhealthy food. I call that winning!

    Also, my house is more comfortable cool now with all the air circulating constantly.

    It's 104 degrees here today and it was 101 yesterday in a nation with no a/c and my wife was whinging about running two oscillating fans in the bedroom the entire night because of the energy cost.

    my brother is in the UK right now vacationing. Had a train scheduled to take them from London to Edinburg this morning and they cancelled the whole damn thing because of that heat. They rented a car and are currently one hour from Dundee.

    The average high in London in the summers is like 75. When it gets into the low eighties people lose their minds. I can't imagine how poorly this is going over.

    She put a water bottle in her handbag before we went through airport security. Love standing around in a separate line for another 15 minutes for no reason. "God, it's just a water bottle!" afterwards like how could she have possibly known?

    Back when I traveled for work for one reason or another we’d have to book separate reservations on the same flights. I’d be in the pre-check line and she’d be in the regular line with the kids.

    I was always so thankful to go through by myself

    Hand up, this one’s on me. I should have been more thorough.

    She also bought lunch meat and four bags of peanut butter pretzels but left the bag in her car for the last two hours. Just a little listeria roulette to spice up the weekend.

    Friday is the day I will go to Sam's, etc and buy stuff.
    Sams is an hour from the house, but I can go that way for work.
    Wife has fridays off.

    Today, on the phone while I'm in the parking lot of Sam's, lunchtime so I'm getting my $3 lunch on even if all I buy is a case of beer....
    "Do we need anything bulk/sams related?"

    Her: 'well maybe some chicken nuggets and some hamburger meat you can split up and freezer
    Me 'I think the freezers are pretty full, can you check em?'
    Her 'ok, I'll call you back

    I go in and eat my two hotdogs lunch for $3

    I have to call after waiting around and internet ting for a minute
    Her "just get a bag of nuggets and hamburger meat"


    FF, I get home and literally have to re-arrange some stuff in the freezers (including an unopened bag of chicken nuggets and several hamburger meat packs I have previously divided up and frozen) just to get the deep freezer doors to shut with the stuff I just bought in them.
