[Is anyone driving less because of the cost of gas?]

I can't believe how much I've spent in gas recently-- now it costs about $50 to fill the minivan tank, and that lasts less than one week for us. Now I am trying to conserve on the driving I do, but still I feel the need to get to the activities we do (math club, art school, music lessons, etc). Anyone else wondering what they should do differently about driving?

 

I try to drive as little as possible since we have a full-size van, and it gets pretty poor gas mileage. I always combine errands in one trip whenever possible. Most things are quite close - the library, grocery stores, post office, etc. The farthest trips are for church - it's about a half-hour away, but only once a week, and the other is for 4-H - it's 80 or so miles away, but it's only once or twice a month. Kind of painful though. I do try to be very careful about only driving when I really need to.

[Is there a "getting around london for dummies" type book out there?]

The Rick Steves London book covers this kind of info. It's really not hard to get around London. The taxis and trains are very easy to use.

Another one here who likes Gold Toe. They have definitely held up the best of the brands we've tried.

I have 4 or 5 Amazon wishlists :eek: Even if I bought one item a month, I'd be dead before I bought everything on my lists. Probably doesn't help that I add to them every month too.

Boy, you're on a roll, Siloam ;)

 

We're in our 8th year, and planning to keep on through high school. I still have a long way to go, as my youngest hasn't even started school yet.

[Wow! Love the new boards! What is everyone reading? I'm reading The Historian...]

Nothing right now! How did that happen?!? Must go to library ASAP!!

 

Recently finished re-reading In This House of Brede by Rumer Godden, one of my most favorite books ever.
