Oil be having you

Just a quick one today.  Forgot during my lunch hour, so I need to get back to business shortly.
I'm well into Movember - moustache is taking on an embarassing colour - which is mainly grey as you would expect.  Despite me turning up my nose at the charity moustache thing I succumbed to it, although I haven't registered anywhere, preferring to do it just for a laugh.  When I look in a mirror I'm not too impressed, but what the heck, only a couple of weeks to go.
58.2p per litre for heating oil.  Bargain.  Not.  My regular 1000 litres comes today, I'm sure t was about 9p when I moved in 15 years ago.  At least we don't heat many bedrooms now so I have seen a reduction since the kiddies moved out.  But not in electricity which is odd, or maybe that's gone up a huge amount as well - in fact I'm sure it has.  Anyway, suffice to say that keeping yourself warm and washed is not a low cost activity.  Luckily we have a wood burner in the lounge.  I've looked at one for the kitchen, but blimey, they (Grange Reproductions) wanted about 3000 quids to put it in.  No way.
I haven't ruled out me putting it in, but money is a bit scarce nowadays.
