October Price Cap
Here is the first guesstimate I have seen for next Octobers price cap. REMEMBER this could be wildly inaccurate but it might be useful when looking at fixed rates going forward. Personally as we stand now I think it may be slightly cautious, but then again the government could intervene to cushion any rise.

Are USB sockets wasteful?
I have USB plug sockets in my house. I know they draw power to convert AC-DC. Is it worth replacing them with standard sockets to save money? (I already have some standard ones so this wouldn't be an expense) TIA

Credit meters and top-ups - is it possible?
I have just spent the best part of two hours on the chatline with British Gas. I was passed between eight different advisers and cut off once and with each transfer I was sent to the back of the queue. There I would have to languish for 12 minutes each time. At most I was 73rd in line and at the least, I was 60th in line.…

TO SWITCH OR NOT SWITCH??
Can anyone help I’m going round in circles. EON fixed rate finishes in April they have emailed to say I can stay variable for E £603 G £886 per year or fix on next outline V13? Tarif for E £796 G £1,210 per year. Do I fix because it’s likely going to keep increasing or stick to variable rate? Any advice grateful received!
