    Well done on the progress so far. :beer:

    I can't wait till I get below £70K and I have a good few months to wait.

    I've recently changed my gas and electricity supplier, and initially went for a dual fuel tariff, but when I looked at the cost of the electricity component, it was £10 per month more than I was currently paying, even though the gas bit was cheaper.
    I ended up getting them separately.

    Cash ISA is with First Direct until November, when I think the rate drops to peanuts. Already put away half of this year's limit.

    To recap - we have a BG tarriff for our energy fixed in 2005! This runs out at the end of this month :eek: BG have offered us another fix until Apr 2012 - it's a tad more than all their current tarriffs so I've decided to go with the fix.

    ..... but any tarriff is going to be a massive financial shock for us. All tarriffs look at least double what we are currently paying:eek:.

    Lots of energy belt tighting for us I think and lets hope we have a nice warm summer and winter:D

    Still half price energy for the next 9 days:)

    Get all your energy tasks done before the changeover. Hoover, wash everything you need to. Save those extra pennies. :D

    I have just got an OWL after looking at your energy saving thread and my goodness how addictive to look at it. I thought i was bad before at turning things off but i am more evangelical now.

    There seems to be a new counter. Instead of just how many "Thanks" you've received it shows how much thanks you have given.

    Apparently, I've thanked over 22,471 posts:rotfl:

    I'm off to "Thank" a few more people for their posts.....
