I worked today - normally I have Monday's off but Kate is on holidays so it was up to me! I had a good one, lots of nice customers in today and I made this layout for a mini class we are having later in the week. Mmmm just tried to upload it below this text and it went above it???

So, apart from work nothing else of real interest happened today, bit boring I know! Some news of mine to report about recycling - after really paying attention to this last week I am proud to say that we recycled heaps. Again, I need to admit that I am embarrassed that we have not been faithful recyclers but at least we have seen the errors of our way. I also checked out our electricity usage last night and discovered that we used an average of 25.9kWh per day on our last bill. From what I have read this is a little higher than the average (I am putting this down to us really giving the air conditioner a workout over Summer). I am setting myself a goal to get this down, although we are nearly finished this quarter so it probably won't be noticed on the next bill. According to the bill this averages out to $3.97 a day. One good thing is that I have signed up for Green Earth so 20% of our electricity is green. I am going to look into whether I can get more green energy supplied than 20%. Am sure this is possible. I also read somewhere on the Aussies Living Simply site that a fair amount of usage is from the hot water so I need to cut this down. We are almost within our target of 140l per person of water a day (we went over by 6l). But I know that I can cut this more and that would help with the hot water issue I guess. Thank God for the people who are doing more than their bit - makes up for us who don't...

Here is a link to another blog that I have done a little reading on lately - Consumption Rebellion.
