    When I got all my bills off the Avro site plus the credit I was over £123 in credit and they have taken this months DD of £48 so that's £171 plus in credit minus any final bill which I estimate will be around £11 leave around £160 in credit.
    Someone please tell me what money is

    You seem to be forgetting the costs you will have incurred since 26 September there?

    Do octopus allow just payment by credit/debit rather than set up a direct debit? Avro didn't. But I am seeing octopus may do. I like to just pay £250 or something and let it dwindle down then pay again....
  • I look at it this way. It is a big operation to shift. Lights have stayed on, I expect to pay for what I use, my credit will probably be useful for the usage, I am glad I am not with the others and I will probably stick to the variable and see where we are in a few months time.

    Not a lot else I can realistically do except sit back and enjoy the ride.

    Probably have to get a smart meter now for the better rates post winter anyway. (the curmudgeon is strong in me)
