I am so excited - my energy bill may fall by about 96 pence a week - I am also wondering how the £1,000h handout for energy efficient measures to those selling their house and buying another one is going to help those having difficulties making ends meet :-S

Researching:
I am researching the Wotherspoon family from the Old/New Monkland areas of Scotland, some moved to the Leslie and Kelty areas of Fife and I'm having problems linking the Wotherspoon's from Leslie and the Wotherspoon's from Kelty. I am also researching the Clusker family from Co. Meath in Ireland who moved to West Lothian and from there to Fife............"Vita non est vivere sed valere vita est"

On Sky News this morning the people that take the papers apart.

One of them said this morning the £50 was a get out for Cameron/Clegg as they both know that they can't stop the energy companies from putting up the prices.


Mind it's better than a slap in the face with a wet kipper...

Big deal !!!, £12.50 a quarter, hardly noticeable in my opinion, and i bet the cut doesn't reach us the public.
