Ebico I presume? That's who we're with.

Correct !!

1 bedroom flat, & I don't use the central heating except sometimes on about 15 mid-Dec to mid-Feb. About £150/year with the reassuringly-expensive British Gas duel* fuel.



*Only available if you challenge Cecil Brown to pistols at dawn.

Are you from a northern country of the UK?

I checked U-Switch last night and they reckon I can save 100 pounds a year by moving from E-on to some non-profit making supplier.

I have cavity wall insulation, and a roof !!

Hmmm... goose fat on the kids, sew 'em into their togs, and use a single candle for heating and light, is my only advice.

I use uswitch once per year around the end of January.

Even with 5 people, 4 bedroom, 6 a/c units - and a double bath - we average at £100 per month. For gas and electricity.

It could get really expensive though, if I had a lodger or a wife.

I think he meant that he has 4 detached beds, in one room.

It's impossible that the total cost for Gas & Electric is only £66 for 3 months... unless he means that his costs over & above his direct debit were £66.

Oh no it's not !! That was my full bill(gas + electric) for the quarter.

Wasn't it a bit boring sitting in a big, dark and cold house every evening?

I do most things in one room, my bedroom and office, which is south-facing and elevated so stays pretty warm anyway. Why heat rooms that you don't use?! It's just a waste of money and bad for the environment.

When I am not in the house, which is about 4 evenings a week, I am not even heating that bedroom. Showers, I normally have down at my gym. In the next six weeks I will be in Greece and Brazil so I will only be at home for a week. Even more money saved!!

Insulation? do you have any?

I think we're on about £1400 - and that's with the wife running the fire in the morning and evening. Central heating on about 21 when we're at home and 17 when we're asleep.

Switched to click 5 energy in August - which BG raised quietly raised the price of in September! - and still paying off the debt to the previous supplier.

Have cavity wall, loft insulation and double glazing.

I think it's the electricity. So many appliances on (tumble dryers, dishwasher, washing machine, electric oven, microwave, giant fridge freezer, 1500W in lighting, computers, servers, big TV's).

But hey, I like to have comfort.

But, how much did he spend on takeaways and alcohol and hired "friends"?
