My fixed tariff energy deal ending soon.

I feel I'm about to be arse raped


Martin Lewis suggested the rise in January will be around 27%.... :-X

That will f*uck with inflation and the knock on effects that come from it. :-X :-X
And another few percent in April.

So I've just changed to a fixed rate at just shy of £250 a month :(
That's what I pay on my fix. But my house is a drafty old Edwardian one, with no cavity in the walls. Yours is pretty new, so it shouldn't really cost you as much as me.

Fixed ours earlier this year until April 2027 £115 per month at present we're around £395 in credit, fortunately our house is very energy efficient , but obviously I'm expecting an increase in the spring ,as you say according to Martin Lewis last night around 27 percent is on the cards.
Never argue with stupid people, they will drag you down to their level & beat you with their experience.

And the missus is always moaning I don't let her have the heating on ;D

I suspect this year my electric usage in particular has skyrocketed due to the A/C being on every night for weeks over the hot period.  Although my electric usage has always been high - when the Russia/Ukraine thing kicked off, it went to £350 a month :o

One of my neighbours complaining about the couple who live next door to me about how early they start their cars to go to work WTF ! I'm afraid I told him what he could do with his complaint silly bastard.

Solar ( roof, garage and a big carport ) and some batteries?
The biggest joke on mankind is that computers have started asking humans to prove that they aren't a robot.

Roof shapes facing the right way don't lend themselves to panels.

Our house is a bit before that, being late Victorian (1891).

Pretty sure it also has 2 layers of bricks with no cavity between them. I'm not from the North, or Scotland, but I am mean with the few pennies I have.......so pull on another jumper and stop being a nancy boy is my message. :y

Unfortunately the house  runs on oil which costs an arm and a leg these days, but we have plenty of open fires which are effectively free as we have plenty of available wood.

......and monthly electric bill is currently £121 a month, but that includes charging Mrs Opti's milk float Jaaag. :)

That reminds me there is a free hour today 12-1 from Octopussy.

A cursory once over in daylight suggests that the crash bar is straighter than it used to be and one headlight has two cracked tabs.

The bonnet strut support bracket on the slam panel was broken when I bought the car, but if I am going to have to somewhat rebuild the front end, I may as well replace it. Probably not at £500 that MB wants  :-X

It's an excuse to add xenons though  :D
