hi all im new to the forums. my names chris im currently with spark energy uk im 28 and a disabled guy. my contract with spark energy started in 11 febuary till 31 march. (my first billing date) they charged me 150 pounds in electricity just for that period. all i have running is a 32 inch hd lcd tv and a freeview box. i cook by microwave 2 mins a nite. i shower twice a week 0hot water left on for 1 hour each time. i dont leave things on standby or have everything running. is that normal ??? yet ive not changed anything and my bills are only 6o pounds for quarter now. would anybody recommend switching. as with the 150 debt they put on account its gettin a bit much. i emailed the ceo of spark energy and they admitted they got the meter readings wrong but now they are backtracking. apparently i used 1000 kwh in that period yet i havent changed anything ive added a pc now and last quarter i only used 500 kwh ?
