Would a tariff like this one help?

I'm not sure how it compares to E7 but might give you a bit more flexibility as long as you can avoid using from 16:00 to 19:00

You need to have solar PV to be eligible for that, or am I misunderstanding something?

No, its just a time of use tariff to encourage off peak consumption

Forget about what your TV, computer, or hairdrier uses, what matters is heating and hot water. That will account for the vast majority of your consumption.
Every pound you spend on a temporary solution is a pound less towards getting the CH fixed. To switch to E7 you will spend at least £70 on a new meter, plus any other costs. The fact that you have mains gas is irrelevant-lots of people have that with E7.

Not all suppliers charge for a meter swap, the OP might be lucky.
