Me too, at least one coffee before I can speak, then at least another one before I can be bothered to shower and wash my feet.“Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?”

I sometimes find it is cheaper going to different suppliers for each fuel which the comparison sites won't show you.My Together 3nergy dual fuel fix runs out in October (I think a few of us joined through Lum0 a while ago?). Has anyone spotted any really good deals with a good tariff/cashback/freebies please? I know different areas are different but if there are any deals to be had, IO have confidence that the Elite will have spotted them!
I am a member of MSE Cheap Energy Club but always like to see if I can get it cheaper.
Thanks

Speaking of cashback sites. I had a TCB email with a bonus 3.00 wys over 10.00.
I signed up to Gousto and ordered 3 meals for 2 at £14.99 (50% off for new customers). Got 8.40 TCB plus the 3.00 bonus, both tracked straight away. HTH someone.
I'm gutted about the APG, it's become a way of life!0 -
