Anyone anygood with utility suppliers. We are with scottish gas from the previous owners, standard tarrif. We have no idea on consumption for the year but I had a bit of a 'guesstimate' using meter readings 16/12 to 15/01. According to one of the switching companies ED**F cheapest followed by NP0wer at £17 a year more then E0N £8 more again. Now if i use a cashback site E0n is providing £80 cashback, Np0wer £40 for the cheaper tarrif and Ed wotsit i can't find.

Now I am thinking e0n may well be the best supplier for us just because the overall cost will be lower. Not sure though.

so all those handstands in swimming pool must of helped

Did you really ?!?

I'm still with my original suppliers as I worry about changing utility suppliers so I'm no help for you

LilacPixie

I'm too scared to change suppliers as well so can't help you with that either.

Lol at you doing handstands in the pool. Well done.

Re: Utility suppliers ours has turned into an expensive nightmare!

Decided to switch via U switch cashback didn't make a difference for us. ie. the cashback ones were a lot more expensive tarrifs so wouldn't have made sense.

Were paying DD £71 a month EDF. For both
Currently paying £53 a month with N Power. For Both. (According to U Switch using actual meter readings from our bills last year this should work out. So saving £8 a month.

However, just submitted actual meter readings for last three months and we are already £90 in the red. So bills averaging £70 a month.

I know that with DD the idea is you pay the same all year so should even out over summer but I'm still not happy as we had over £200 worth of credit came back to us when we cancelled with EDF so actually had only worked out at £53 a month with them.

OH muttering under his breath :rotfl:

Just reading up on a few more diary's (they take a fair chunk of time) and I thought I'd drop a line to say Happy (late) Birthday and good luck on the newborn peeping it's head over the horizon

Well another morning and i'm still fat. training day at nursery today so i have kids all day.. no idea how i will cope other than i think it will involve playdoh a messy mat and probably moonsand.

I'm just so uncomfortable now, it probably sounds so totally selfish but because I was ill and we didn't think i was making it this far I feel very overdue and impatient although i must confess I have not packed a bag yet. The packing of bag signals to baby that its ok to arrive I think so i'm refusing to pack it.....

Plan for today while kids are 'creating' is try sort/shred some more paperwork, look at budgets, look at money rack up at santander some more because they won't change my address without either a driving licence or a council tax bill for the full year not an amended bill which I can't provide until March when the bill for 2011/12. it's driving me up the wall because my card expires end of Jan and they will not allow royal mail to forward the mail no send it to branch so basically 11 days time I will have 2k in the bank and not be able to access it with my card. I'll have to transfer it to another bank account but of course its above the faster payment limits so takes days

lol @ you doing handstands but at least it worked!! grrrr @Santander how frustrating is that.

Hope children keep themselves busy with messy play allowing you to relax a little.

Can you ask someone else to pack it and not to let you know when its done? Then at least it's ready somewhere
