I'll be paying around £4,500, assuming we don't switch stuff off and the Mrs stops getting baths every farts end. Manageable but, as you say, ouch!

Depends on the level of confidence, but sometimes unavoidable, I find.

Just had an email from Scottish Power advising me that due to the price cap and my credit balance my new direct debit payment has been reduced to £92 per month ! Back in July when I was paying £115 per month, they advised that when my fixed deal ended at the end of August my payment would increase to £313 per month , all seems quite crazy.

Yes didn’t you say you paid a wad in though?

[Rangie]

Yes I did so in credit by £2000, even with that they wanted £150 per month previously, so I'm happy with the new price. When we had a mortgage which was around about the mid eighties it was only around £200 a month , I dislike large monthly payments.

Just had our first bill from Scottish Power this quarter last year £186 this year £403 so approximately a 115 percent increase obviously no central heating used during this time.

It's interesting that Britain's corrupt MSM haven't mentioned the fact that the price of UK Natural Gas Futures has halved in the last month.   

I guess continuing the disaster narrative generates more clicks and sells more papers.

Email notification from BG this morning letting me know that from 1st October my dual fuel bill will change from £3970 per year which last year was £2685 to £4946

Thats a year on year increase of + £2261 or 84% ...Time to start burning trees I think  :'(

Log burners are selling like hot cakes here in Spain. More air pollution. Thank you Mr Putin.

The price of logs has gone up too.

On a similar note .
I have two large multi fuel stoves that we use extensively throughout winter .
I burn coal and seasoned logs in them and they heat the house well.
Last week I called my coal supplier to order twenty 40 kg bags . Last winter I was paying €22 per bag with discount for quantity this year my supplier has none in stock but will keep me twenty when he gets his first delivery if I pay € 46 per back up front .
This is bad but I will turn to burning logs, of which I have a steady supply , and oil but there are a considerable number of people in this area that have no other means of heating their old poorly insulated homes . This is exacerbated by the total ban of selling turf which has been, and is still is ,a fuel extensively used in SW Ireland .
The ingenious Irish have basically stuck two fingers up at their government and the EU and renamed turf / peat as " decorative Irish mud ...."which has stymied the authorities.
I cannot think of an example in my life when a commodity rose in price  and then returned to it's pre inflated level .
Our lifestyle is about to be changed for us ,forever .

Same here.

No mortgage(s) to pay now which is a good feeling but I can't figure out where the extra money I used to pay goes.

Some weird shit going on. One for Mulder and Scully to investigate.

What about the cost of heating oil......and bottled gas?

This plus electricity. We don't have gas.
