We are not in Winter yet and the average daily energy cost is running at £9.97/day.
That's £310 per month.
Avg. daily Kwh Electric is 16.34 and Gas is 34.6
I reckon that real winter temperatures will see the gas triple but the electric only increase marginally.
What really annoys me is that the Admin charge is running at 6% for electric and 7% for Gas. That's for doing what? I take the readings, they send me an e-bill.
Aren't their costs of supply part of their business costs? Why am I paying? Its a scandal.
Does the Supermarket charge you for producing the till receipt? NO.

We'z thinkin of puttin the tombola dryer on.
Also Octopussy have got us to enrol on this "use as little leccy as you can" between the hours of 5 and 6 this p.m. i.e. today, which will be no sweat. 'Parently you win money if you use less than you "normally" do.
Have they got some little leprechaun sitting in our meter making notes?
Feck me, "Big Brother is watching you(r meter).

And W is unwell and in her bed today, even cancelled her sewing gig. So I'll be able to control her use of sparks.
We'll see how few groats we make.

Dunno how they work. thought they read the meter down the leccy cables or summit. Or stuck another one in beside it.
you can tell I'm a total ignoramus about this stuff.
Originally it did communicate with the lickle box but that was back when with Scottish leccy.
TBH at the end of the day, we have to use what we have to use and we have to pay what we have to pay. We have reduced consumption as much as we can and that's it really.
Just have to grit our teeth and bear it.
Or go and live in the library!!

3 proper bedrooms, 2 studies ('is-n-'ers), 2 bathrooms, Lounge, Dining Room, Kitchen/Breakfast room, Utility room, Downstairs bog, + Hall & Landing. It all adds up.
But the heat all sits at the top of each room while your feet freeze! LOL The TRV's are down at 1 in all rooms we aren't using and only get turned up if we have guests staying in them.
According tothe Energy Co. I use twice what neighbouring properties use (beats me how).

Is that the network charge that went up to cover the cost of the energy companies that went bust. Or have they seperated their own admin charge for running yer account, which is their running cost devided by number of meters they have.

I have just received a letter from the hospital which did investigative procedures for a suspected cancer on 4th APRIL informing me that all tests proved to be normal.
I was told I would get the results within 4 to 6 weeks so I suppose I should be grateful that they finally got around to give me the results 7 MONTHS and TWO weeks later.
