    Good news fellow money savers. BG have reduced my DD on gas to £37 - at its highest it was £59 so that's a saving of £22 per month. Not bad:T smiley_jumping.gif

    Well done on that; I assume you've checked it will "just" cover your consumption so there are no doubts in any future move of supplier and your budgeting is therefore accurate?

    If so then it proves your efforts in reduction in consumption have produced tangible benefit :T:T:T

    Both Gas & Elecricity accounts are in credit at the moment. However, I don't like being cold so our use of gas really does depend on the weather to a large degree:o.

    I have just realised that our DD on gas is the lowest it's been since SEPTEMBER 2003. Our electricity DD is the lowest since JULY 2005. :T:T

    One of my new years resolution's was to try and maximise my points on Tesco clubacard, Nectar, Boots etc.....so I have just had a look at using my nectar card on Amazon.

    It's sooooo simple that I really could kick myself that I haven't done it before:rolleyes:

    Such is life:D There is always a new trick to learn, even for this old money saver...
