  • ****UPDATE****

    I've just recieved an email from scottish power saying that they have reduced my payment by £4 each month.

    I'll now be paying £97 per month for both and, despite doing all i can to get it down, it is still really, really high. From what i can see, i'm on a really good rate, i switch EVERYTHING off at night, i've got the water on for 2 hours in the morning to do us the whole day (considering there are at least 3 people in all day every day it's ok), my boiler is at 50, i've got energy saving light bulbs. What else can i do....?

    I've just recieved an email from scottish power saying that they have reduced my payment by £4 each month.

    Well I had a statement from Npower saying as I hadn't used any gas for 3 months they were reducing my payment to £20 per month. As our central heating, hot water and hob use gas, this seems a little unlikely, to say the least, so I've sent them a reading online! I wish it were true :rotfl:

    Sans - hope you are feeling better soon, lots of people don't seem to be able to shift these colds for ages at the moment.
