    Well I have found out mine..gulp feel a bit better now! I forgot that I am on a online capped tariff and paying through the roof for it £98 a month so I am currently £244.12 in credit :) although I have just updated readings so that will come down

    I only ever used to pay around £40 a month until taking Martins advice swapped to a fixed capped rate and then it started coming down in price...typical. Oh well only another year stuck in it!

    I've just thought it through again - she said if I coud pay off this quarters it would be £60 per month. I only joined them in September - perhaps I've been underpaying since I joined (although I've only paid what they said I needed to!) - if the DD had been higher to start with - ie £60 per month, the bill this quarter would have been around £100 or so less than it is as I would have been paying more towards it.

    At least the lights don't need to be on until 8 or so now and the heating isn't needed. When I feel a bit less stressed about it and I've stopped eating my way through the fridge (currently munching a plate of tomato and salad cream sandwiches) I'll get my head together and do some ebay listing. Maybe I should start a thread about it, it might keep me focused....

    they used that excuse with me too BB, and my friend got hit with a horrendous dual fuel bill for the same reason. They had been taking payments for 2 years at roughly the same level. She phoned up to complain and they said it was her fault.:rolleyes:

    dont see how, as they were able to see her usage so they should have adjusted it far earlier for her

    How old are you Snags??? I can't see 44 being too old for you?? I don't think about the age difference between me and OH - well unless I want to have a dig and I say stuff like 'oh I don't remember that, I was only 6 at the time'.....knowing that he was 18, it keeps him feeling old rather than all this rubbish about he reckons he's only 35.......:rotfl:
