£14,000 i would be on to the leccy company asking for a more indepth bill

[Danny_mcr]

that does sound a bit steep. not got juch knowledge on economics but wouldn't the government help out with some sort of grant or will she have the public to rely on?

[snickers]

Sounds desperate to me. Surely she could do some sort of deal with the leccy company. She'll be raising money forever and giving it all away. It would be good to know what kind of exotics she keeps and where she is etc.

Dare say she'll be relying on the public - it's far nigh impossible to get any grants towards animal welfare!

Forget the 14k how on earth is she paying £1000 a month for only 350 reptiles?! I would have been asking questions long before the 14k bill.

That is a ridiculus bill!!! I only run a very small place but have to heat the same things and our bill is only £5500 a year!!!

And no, there are no goverment grants.

we've been having problems with our leccy company, i've only got 4 heat mats and one 60w heat bulb, (and our heating was broke for a month) and they reacon i owe them £1000 for a quarter!!

if i was this woman, i wouldn't be paying the bill, i'd be enquiring as to why it's so rediculously high. something must be wrong somewhere in the system.
