Be aware!!!!! Take readings now.

I am very energy aware and our last two quarterly bills came in at <£100 per quarter. We are over 60 and now have the ch on all day until 8pm. We turn it off if the sun shines in as we have good solar gain in the house

I have done my readings as usual and decided to work out approximate costs for this quarter. They are coming in at 3 times the usual costing

Don`t for heavens sake bury your head in the sand and get the readings and costings done and onto your budget sheets

Absolutely agree with this. I've been banging an to all my friends to be aware of just how much they will currently be sepnding in this very cold snap but 50% STILL don't seem to care - until they get their next bill, of course. It's a double whammy of massively increased fuel costs and coldest start to Winter in 30 years that will cause carnage to those who pay quarterly and blindly use their CH like they have always done. I predict lots of first time posters on here going ape *&^% about their £1,000+ quarterly bill. We have been very careful through December but our gas bill alone will run to £95 (4 bed extended semi with 5 people in it, always someone in during the day).

Well documented, estimates are precisely that - estimates. The energy companies do encourage people to record their own reading if the estimate is very far off on the bills.

Cost me about 65p per unit for gas which I think it's too expensive, I wear jackets indoor and have 2 blankets at night to keep cost down. Ps I also wear thermal hat and gloves too! I dont have the ch on at all and only use gas for cooking. I'm a young man from London so can cope with the cold weather.
