    My Gas and Electricity bills are in for the March quarter and I was rather scared looking at them. BUT they weren't too bad given how cold it's been.

    Gas - More than last year by 10 Kilowats per day but still less than 2007 and close to 2008.

    Electricity - More than 2009 by 1 kilowat per day but again less than both 2007 and 2008.

    The Gas has cost 21p more per day and the electricity 10 pence more per day than last year. For the qtr this is about £29 more for both.

    So overall not as bad as I thought it might be.:T

    Hi all

    I don't know if any of you use the Pensions board but Edinvestor has passed away. How very very sad. She was such a great poster:(
