Here's what we know so far, and how the shake-up could impact your future bills.

    are we expecting ofgem to update the cap in december as they would under the new 3 month timescale the government introduced before the cap or is it going to be radio silence and unofficial forcasts between now and march?
    Almost everything will work again if you unplug it for a few minutes, including you. Anne Lamott

    It's amazing how those with a can-do attitude and willingness to 'pitch in and work' get all the luck, isn't it?

    Please consider buying some pet food and giving it to your local food bank collection or animal charity. Animals aren't to blame for the cost of living crisis.

    Ofgem's timetable for cap revisions hasn't changed. I'm expecting a December announcement for January, and a March announcement for April.
