Changing or just ringing you energy provider saved me £400!!
Major coup! .....Rang both my Electricity Companies: nPower and Eon as House on one and cottages on the other. They were charging me different tariffs, obviously.First call to nPower. Oh, you can have it much cheaper than that, just go onto our latest tariff. As a direct debit customer I didn't make a huge difference, £1200 down to £950 but if you are moving to direct debit and bills online it would be a huge jump. So... Thought I'd dump Eon as they were much more expensive for my usage.Rang them up... Same thing except I don't do bills on line. £1300 down to £1100.Takes 6 weeks to do an account transfer, so just going online and applying to both companies to go onto the new tariffs straight away and saving a whopping £400. Super Cool and chuffed to bits!

» Safety Culture – a Step too far for Windermere Windermere Hotels
I am passionate about this complete safety related farce.
How can one swim go ahead and the other be cancelled on the same day in the same lake?
The Environment Agency failed Cumbria in November with its non existent river management for the preceeding 5 years and now this back of the fag packet safety assessment that affects countless businesses and nearly 10,00 swimers. What a farce!!!

Countryside campaigners and walking groups are delighted by the ruling – but off-roaders are fuming at the judgement to ban them from the Walna Scar Pass between Coniston and Seathwaite. Alan Kidd, senior editor of the Off Road Yearbook, said: “Off-road drivers feel enormously and unfairly persecuted, that there’s a campaign of vilification against us by other user groups, particularly some of the more militant walking groups who try to paint a very unfair picture of the damage that 4x4 drivers cause.
Not sure Windermere Hotels users will be so pleased at a loss of yet another outdoor activity!
Poisonous algae forces Lake Windermere swim to be postponed Telegraph
A spokesman said: "Unfortunately it has been necessary to postpone the British Gas Great North Swim, which was due to be staged on Saturday and Sunday, September 4th and 5th, at Windermere.
"This is due to prevalence of blue-green algae and the impact that this may have on safety in the water."
The decision was taken by the event safety group after stringent water quality checks were completed.
The organisers said: "We are looking at a potential new 2010 date for the Great North Swim and will let you know by email on or before Tuesday, September 7."

Such a shame. Hopefully it will still go ahead, but there are bound to be so many fewer participants.
Mind you, after a lifetime of swimming in it, I don't seem to be any worse the ware! Do I ?
