Enjoyed your post and totally agree. I moved to a bigger flat and now I have space that I don´t use, for example, the small WC.<br/>I agree with J1mbo, maybe your actual house was a good investment. In the past years house prices have risen and not the contrary.<br/>I loved the small house, with wheels and everything. A movable house must be great. For us it had to be just a big larger, considering our proportions :)<br/>How´s your girl doing in the capital?<br/>Cheers. Hi. Enjoyed your post and totally agree.

We live in a big house but if it was in England we just couldn’t afford to run it, it is so expensive to live there.

This week I reduced my shopping bill from €120 to €85

You said that you turn off ALL electric sockets at night, does this include fridge and freezer etc?
