(Sings) "Bend me over backwards on the hostess trolley!"

SarahNeedle-I doubt they'll do anything to reimburse me 19 years of economy 7 ..I assume they'll say I should have asked them to switch tariffs?When we bought the house it had those manky old night storage heaters fitted. We ripped them out and put proper CH in, but never thought about changing the meter, so apparently we've been paying a higher rate on ALL our daytime use for 19 years!!!C'est la vie!!!

I only switched to N Power a year or so ago- before that it was EDF and earlier Southern Electric..does your meter have 2 separate readings for night/day usage?

Yes it does.

Ooh! Sammy, what's food focus? Can you log anything you eat on there, or is it only if you're a specific diet? If a food diary works as well as a spending diary, it could be good!

Doesn't necessarily mean you are paying over the odds..depends what tariff you are on,I'd call N Power and ask Bookie- I was on a tariff that was 2p per unit more expensive during day, but much cheaper at night (when the storage heaters are supposed to come on) but I was'nt getting the benefit as I don't use much power at night...

You log all your food, your height, weight etc and you can also log exercise. It tells you input versus output and yes its very much like a spending diary :eek:
