Is it ok to come on here and growl?
I hate this time of year! Everything seems to be going up in price but wages dont change til a few months later!!!!!
Electricity prices - up
Telephone prices - up
Petrol prices - up
Dread to think what else - up lol.
I just received online bill from Power supplier. They had estimated my readings and they were out by miles. I called them when i got the last bill and they told me not to worry about it. I now have a bill for over £120. Which probably means i'll have to increase my direct debit. GRRRRRR.
Then i get a letter from Telewest telling me they are increasing prices too......another direct debit going up
So, just when I thought i could vary my porridge and soup diet.......... looks like it may have to continue for another month or so. Good job i like porridge and soup!
Sorry for the rant, but feel better now
Thanx Lornie xx

Hi hun!!
I know - it sucks doesnt it!! Could you shop around for better suppliers? I know most have gone up though, but it might be worth it!!
I hope you get a payrise you deserve soon.
