Had your winter gas bill yet?

We've got our winter gas bill

£446!!!!!!!!! Triple eek!! :eek: :eek::eek:

The electric bill's not here yet, but I'd hate to see how much the bills would be if we didn't have direct debit/online billing discount.

I really need to see how to make savings next winter.

Have you had yours through yet?

ETA Sorry, I just realised I've posted in completely the wrong place

342 quid here. pretty good considering its on nearly 24/7.

Ours isn't on all the time so we must be doing something wrong,
last year's winter gas was £413.
I think we need to get a bungalow, it must be cheaper?

That's not triple then that's only 8% more than last year.

Turn the thermostat down. Off or very low at night. Off when you are out and you will save a lot.

I wouldn't be using it in the morning any more if you can stand the house just be mildly chilly for the half hour or so you are getting ready for work.

a campervan would be even cheaper.

Mine was excellent £234.55 including £55 dual fuel discount having said that it was only on about 4 hours a day; plus we both lost loads weight (I've froze me bollox off and she's froze her t1ts off )

I know it's not triple last year's bill, I meant triple eek at the size of it.

I have to have it on as hubby's quite poorly.

That's a brilliant bill, I might try the 4 hour rule next year.

Ofcourse there are other ways to keep warm :cool:

My central heating boiler broke down in November and it wasn't fixed until a couple of weeks ago so probably the gas bill is going to be lower.

From 1st December to 20th Feb, I make mine to be £115 (with Ebico, therefore easy calculation!). I'm in most of the day.

I pay £70 monthly dual fuel and I'm hoping to get a rebate. At most I've had the gas CH on for an hour, morning and evening. Often not at all as I have been relying on my solid fuel stove.
