Fully agreed, for 3 of us, our bill used to be around $180 till last December when we stopped sleeping in aircon as very windy at night and the bill for the last 2 months have been below $100...some more we hardly at home.
Sheris, thought you FTWM? If you interested, I can check with my friend if she has found someone already and will let you know soon.
Will try the TOP washing powder. Actually, last time when I use the front load washing machine dun have such problem as they have warm water wash, so no smell even during raining season, now with the top load, no good leh. Waiting for my machine to spoil so can get back front load type.
