You call that heating? :eek: In Singapore, if I had the aircon on at all and then it was only part of the night in the bedroom, I had it set at 26C :rofl:
I would love to move to QLD, but we have to go where the work is. This said, so far I have followed the same path Rudi has, so Brisbane must be our next move. ;) :eek: yep - give it a couple of years and then move here.....you never know I might even stay here and we may get to be proper buddies rather than internet and occasional coffee buddies :rofl: I have even found you some houses to buy.... http://www.realestate.com.au/cgi-bin...&tm=1226309996 http://www.realestate.com.au/cgi-bin...&tm=1226309996 There's heaps more where they come from....... Love Rudi :wub: xxx |

Bejaysus, what's with those prices? I would get a studio apartment overlooking a carpark for that here. :(

Re: Electricity Bills
My last 5 quarterly bills, (after deducting the Ambulance charge):
18-Sep-07 $454.95 05-Dec-07 $439.25 16-Mar-08 $482.90 16-Jun-08 $461.60 16-Sep-08 $519.45 14% increase since last sept ! That's $35.30 pw last year, and probably about $40pw this year, following the price rise. That is for a 5 bed house, 2 computers running 18 hours a day, pool pump and pool heating pump both running ?? hours a day, 2 PVR's, 2 DVD's, 3 TV's, etc all left on standby when not actually on. 3 Reverse cycle units in the house, Light bulbs left on way too much... All electric, no gas. If I did what my neighbours do and turn everything off at night I reckon I could save 20% ! |

Friends of ours in Melbourne set about systematically partitioning their completely open plan home as it got completely bloody freezing.
