Gas & Electricity

I have just moved out of a flat which was electric only and we were paying over £100 a month to Bulb. I am now in a 3 bed victorian house and just had my first month in at £62 for gas and elec. That is from the day I moved in to yesterday with me manually giving meter readings.

Of course we have the rise yet to come but I expected it to be more expensive!

That's not correct. Centrica are a gas producer as well as a retailer and the majority of their profits came from production.

I thought they’d sold their stake in Spirt Energy in 2019 (which, hilariously, used to store gas as well) to become a pure gas and power utility supplier? Likely I’m incorrect, apologies if so.

They sold the part of Spirit that was extracting gas in Norwegian waters and that was only completed recently. They still have quite significant holdings in other exploration and production enterprises, and also in Nuclear.
 
In the winter i embrace the cold by exersing in the garden in a summer dress, my version of cold water swimming , that idea , so i am going to embrace the cold as much as i can and not use the heatng in the winter , wrap up warm and maybe heat the bedroom for an hour in the mornings with a plug in electric radiator , but not if i can , i might die but hey ho

That’s doesn’t sound right, your standing charges alone would be about £20 so £42 in 30 days are you not turning anything on having a shower or bath? Who is that with?
 
Wait to see the explosion of gadgets that can be fitted to your meters and it slows the **** down to a whisper. They’re a coming.
