The turfs laid, waiting for the carpets, telephone line and Sky (digital). Should move in by the end of the month.

I am currently eyeing a development near my house. It consists of six three-bedroom eco-homes, being built to meet Level 5 of the Code for Sustainable Homes. This means they will be 100% more energy efficient than standard building regulations.

Ultimately, residents will enjoy greatly reduced energy bills, while the environment will benefit from far lower carbon emissions.

Environmentally-friendly features include ground source heat pumps, which transfer heat from the ground to the building. This will not only heat all the hot water needed, but will also run the homes’ under-floor heating.

Meanwhile, photo voltaic panels on the roof will convert sunlight into electricity, while a rain water harvesting system will provide water for flushing toilets. High levels of insulation and triple-glazed windows will ensure minimum heat loss.

It is as interesting as HDTVand I have one month to withdraw my offer on  this sustainable, energy efficient, healthy home.

Happy birthday to my boy. We started the day by opening presents, some of our friends already posted cards which we opened. He got a nice watch and a scooter from us before we took his brothers to nursery school so as to spend the day with him. We spent the day at Drusillas park. http://www.drusillas.co.uk/.
He's having the party this weekend with most of his friends and his grandparent.

I used the EU profiler to see if I've been backing the right horse in my voting, it turns out Nope! http://www.euprofiler.eu
The annoying thing is that I don't even have a strong enough opinions on some issues; I support solving global warming problems but I don't feel that strong about it when reducing the problems mean increasing unemployment. I have no opinion on euthanasia and I am neutral on immigration despite my struggle to immigrate. I would take the profile again close to the election, and if it stands as it is, then Labour Party here I come.
