Two weeks ago I checked my online utility bills and was pleased to see that those really nice people at British Gas were sending me £184.51, being a surplus balance that had built up on my account.
Within a week, the oven had blown up, the washing machine packed up and the garden fence blown down.
So that's that little bonus gone before I get it then.
Good point, I feel better already. Also I'd guess if I had overpaid by £15 a month on the gas/electric I'd have simply spent it on an extra night down the pub each month. So it really is a bonus even if it didn't last long
