I have a list of things I want to do in my life, my 101 List!  One thing I really want to do is become more independent and self sufficient here in the Netherlands.  Sure, things are a lot better than they were but I still have a long way to go. The two things that would really make a …

Omg I totally forgot to mention this!  If you remember, this time last year we got one hellish bill from Eneco, who are the DEVIL.   I was so angry I was spitting nails because I was convinced the mistake was on their end and not ours.
