I live on my own in a 3 bedroom house. The radiators are turned off in the least used rooms. I don't like it hot, so have the heating on a very low setting. The loft is well insulated and I have double glazing all round. I don't use an excessive amount of hot water when washing, and the washing machine is cold fill only (no hot supply used). My hob is gas, but the oven is electric.

A recent gas bill from a few months ago was £80 for 5 weeks.

Is it possible that my gas meter has become defective and is seriously over-reading? Or is it possible that my boilers efficiency has reduced from the manufacturers claim of approx. 75% to something like 20%?!!!
It was serviced recently and no problems were reported.

I have a very small walled garden containing only lawn. When it rained the other day I noticed thousands of baby snails climbing the walls and on my verandah. How can I get rid of them without putting down any poisons, as I have small birds feeding there daily. Please help. I also notice slugs appearing on the walls at night, but they are not many (yet).

I don't have the money to fill it in. The mobile home company filled it in when we first bought the place but it's sinking drastically now. and I'm worried about my kids playing around it or neighborhood kids getting hurt. Is there someone who can help me fill it in permanently?

What is a good tomato breed that's easy to grow, and I could eat with no problem?

Im also a bit worried about eating something I grew in my garden..not sure how safe it is, or if any paracites are floating around inside.
Does it make a difference in what soil I use?

When I press the trigger it won't go down, I have no idea where the unlock button or release is. Anyone have an idea? It's about 3 years old.

I sold my house through an estate agent (X), but the buyer was introduced to the property from another estate agent (Y), but CHOSE to go with this one because he did not like the way estate agent (Y) treated him.
Now Estate agent (Y) wants their commision for introducing the buyer.
I know by contract this is correct, but do I have a case with the fact that the buyer chose not to use them?

When I repot my house plants (which have pretty big pots) - is it worth putting an earth worm in each pot to help keep the soil in good condition?

Obviously - I don't want them "escaping" but I'm guessing they will stay "underground"

Sensible advice appreciated!!!!

I am looking for a red upright kettle to continue a red theme in my kitchen - when I get one which might be in the next few weeks.

I cannot use the heavy metal round ones - I have seen a few around that are the round ones but they are very heavy for me as I have shoulder, wrist and hand problems. I am in UK midlands.

I would honestly make $600 from all of it, and probably more. I feel greedy now, because I have given tons away before, but this time I just want a little cash back for all the money this stuff has cost me. I have a family I'm raising. So ... yard sale or just give it away ... P.S. It's clutter everywhere and I need my sanity!
