I still have no way of altering them they either get published, in the case of genuine comments or deleted in the case of spam.Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04177854521955532744noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8468906973954014850.post-41389760442747045752016-06-20T18:35:58.228+01:002016-06-20T18:35:58.228+01:00I understand what you are saying but to me the fac...I understand what you are saying but to me the fact that we are now receiving money into our bank account for the power we sell to the National Grid and NOT paying for any power we use is us making our own electricity.<br /><br />Maybe I look at this in a simplistic manner but it's the way I am, sorry to offend your wanting everything to be specifically accurate. We are on a journey to self-sufficiency, or as damn near as we can get to it, and us having the solar panels to my mind is a tick in the box on that journey.Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04177854521955532744noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8468906973954014850.post-19062258197401039412016-06-20T18:30:53.793+01:002016-06-20T18:30:53.793+01:00I know of no way that I can possibly 'doctor c...I know of no way that I can possibly 'doctor comments'.

I love reading your blog and you have bee...Hi Sue. I love reading your blog and you have been a HUGE inspiration to me .... but I just have to pipe up about something that gets my goat a little. You say free power .... but what did it cost you guys to have all that solar equipment purchased and installed? I'm sure you are nowhere near break even .... which technically means that your power is NOT free. Add to that, the cost of maintenance (and there WILL be costs) and your break even point moves even further away. Were the solar panels/equipment a gift that cost you and LH absolutely nothing at all? Then in that case your power is indeed technically free but don't get me started on the cost-to-environment created by MANUFACTURING all that stuff - usually in China - in the first place.<br /><br />BelindaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8468906973954014850.post-72280996169055918362016-06-15T18:53:44.014+01:002016-06-15T18:53:44.014+01:00Our Aga is off now but we do have a Rangemaster co...Our Aga is off now but we do have a Rangemaster cooker for the summer...trouble is that I keep forgetting to switch it on and off again!
