Gas and lecy bill

[Nik_B 3,790]

I'm paying 180 to 200 a month for gas and electricity. I work from home though which bumps it up a fair bit.

[Chid 6,623]

£35 pound a week on the leccy and im running 2 oil filled radiators from 5 till 8 in the kids rooms to keep them warm incase the fire dies out on a night about £35 in coal not burnt any oil this year really as my fire heats the radiators .. i think im not doing bad seen as i live in an old labourers type cottag stone walls with no insulation.

Get in touch with your leccy supplier, and ask about the WARM HOME SCHEME, winter 2012 2013, for those on benefitts, pension credits etc, £130 off your next bill

Whatever you do ,dont go on a pay as you go meter,Im putting on at least £70 a week between the two,during a cold spell this can be nearer to£100 worst is ive turned into Jim Royle,forever telling the kids about lights etc robbing b*****ds the lot of them :censored:

 

Thats what last winter was like for me , I seriously couldn't keep the amount of money up for running a couple of oil filled rads in a small 2 bed semi .. pay as you go is the most expensive way of buying it .

 

This year I am running a small calor gas heater downstairs , its a bit cheaper but not a massive reduction , I dont know how you do cope when you have kids , its easier for me being on my own , but I do know where your coming from regarding the silly money your having to stick in the meters

not all pensioners are poor and poor or rich they all get the heating allowance as its not means tetsed but it did win the grey vote

I'm paying £280 a month direct debit for both and it's not quite covering my usage. Hopefully it will balance out in summer.

 

It's killing me.

 

We have only got a 3 bedroom house. No mansion.
