Louise White asks whether wind farms are worth the money.

TOPIC 1: PRE BUDGET
A new survey commissioned by the BBC, published today, shows that despite overall economic evidence of green shoots, 7 out of 10 British people don't expect their own domestic finances to get any better in the coming year. And over a quarter of people interviewed say they feel stressed about their financial situation.

Louise asks: How are you getting by?

TOPIC 2: WINDFARMS
New figures, calculated by the Renewable Energy Foundation, claim wind farm operators in Scotland have been given Government subsidies of £1.8 billion in the last 7 years.

Louise asks: Are wind farms worth the money?

Extra Question:
Experts are warning that there may be a boom in the midge population this summer, we want to know where and when you suffered your worst attack of the midge?
