I can't even run accurate comparisons on sites like USwitch as our bills are that messed up..!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29284826.post-16589122712779995292007-05-15T11:14:00.000+01:002007-05-15T11:14:00.000+01:00Don't forget that some of us living in rented acco...Don't forget that some of us living in rented accomodation are limited in some of the changes we can make. I also don't think there is much choice of alternative energy supply in Ireland. We do have Airtricity although they serve mostly (possibly only) the business rather than the domestic market. Still, you continue to give me ideas for things I definitely want to be able to do/have whenever I get my own place.Moonwaveshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16018956740090192993noreply@blogger.com
