that's why I`ve put a coal fire back in the back room ------------- fecking gas was costing a fortune

[Nik_B 3,790]

Do you use house coal?

 

My smokeless is 19 quid a 50kg bag so I'm not sure if the gas isn't cheaper

 

We're in a smokeless zone although I don't really give a crap about that just the house coal seems to burn a bit uncontrollably although it's nice and cheap

I buy in bulk works out at 13 quid a bag -- my mates brother dropped me off 5 ton of logs ..............for free I work from home and I`m in all day so come winter it saves heating the whole house all day . least if your using coal or logs you can keep track of your spending with no surprise bills

The biggest thing I've seen this year were silaging in 2 weeks and there is f**k all on the fields cos we are in are last bay of silage and the grass is about too shoot and in the last 7 years I've never seen us so close to having no feed for the cows are first cut will be in a week before we are opening the pit back up we never used too open first cut silage till third cut was in and that's round August time so here is hoping for a better year in 2014 cos the last three years have not been good I can see a big cull of some of are cows this year

Sounds similar...it rose from 200 squid for gas/elec to 250...about 150 per month of that is gas

They've been out at it for about a week here too mate, tractors everywhere today.. Plenty of grass growing here though, might start saving my lawn clippings up and baling it!

 

There was bales left to rot in the field down the road all winter, how much is one of those big round ones worth?
