I have been desperatly trying to get myself out more and more by myself, so I am not using Monkey as a crutch, one of the jobs, I have been trying to do is getting gas and electric, which we have to go to a shop to top up for,
Week 1 didn’t go well, I ran out of electric about 3pm and then sat there till I had to pick Monkey up and then went in with him
Week 2, didn’t run out of electric, but still waiting till Monke had finished school to go get it
Week 3, My partner took the electric key in and I ran out of electric at 10am, I couldn’t last that long without electric, spent an hour and a half debating it with myself before going and getting the key off him and then getting electric.
Week 4, this week, took Monkey into school, and went and got electric by myself, go me. Now if I can just do that for a few more weeks, I might have got it nailed.
Its good to be crazy Sometimes 
How does electric work in the UK? In the US there’s a meter on the side of ones house and they just send you a bill at the end of the month. Just curious.

Some places are like that, in this flat, we have a pay as you go, so we have to top up a card, a bit like a pay as you go phone

Crazy system. You Brits do a lot of stuff right, but this isn’t one of them. We use it first and then pay. How do you know how much to buy before you use it? Same with gas and phone. That would wear me out.

We have that as well, where you pay monthly, initially you guess how much you need and then top it up as and when, we use £20 a week on electric

I could not deal with that. We are billed once a month. If you forget to pay and they come turn it off, there is a service fee to get it turned back on. I think there is a law about not turning it off in very cold weather. You can also have it averaged so the bill is the same each month.

That sounds like how most people do it here in the UK, apart from us and because we are in a rented place, we can’t change it
