Buffythedebtslayer said:Just a quick drop in, Mum says one energy bill is 59 and the other one 99.
So I think it is reasonable to estimate that it could go to 120 and 200, thus being 320 a month? I suppose it could be less but I think best to plan for the worst?
I think it will probably be more.Hi BuffyIt depends what tariff you're on for the current bills. I worked out the changes in cost for a year's usage and the October price cap is three times my old fixed deal. Double might be about right for April to October, but could go up again for both winter usage and because you may not have built up credit before then.Would your mum give you the info so you can sort out the best deal and keep tabs on meter reads?RB xx

Just had my favourite Gastro fish, I do love it.
I can't be bothered to move! So stuffed.
This weekend I get to move the fish tank into the living room...........a bit freaked. Will do it on Sunday. move chair Build new stand, move armchair to conservatory (which involves moving all the hay out there to the rabbits who do need a good clean out.
I am running out of face wash and was down to two bras. The George bras are alright, not amazing, but it is a nice not to be constantly hand washing smalls!
I just tried to explain to Mum how stressful my day was. She did ask, I wasn't fishing. Some times I think she gets it and then she says one thing and it is back to nope not a clue.
