Gas & Electricity

I came across loads of batteries in the spare room , i havent had to buy any new ones actually , if you are going to tell people they are stupid whilst you dont need to worry then you are cruel, at least you got a like from the heartless bully boy
I did not call anyone stupid.
You are wasting your batteries when a low wattage led bulb would give you more light.
You are using a tv to light a room in an uninformed quest to save pennies?
Can you not see how idiotic that sounds?
Lighten up dear.
 
Bollocking the wife for over filling a kettle is fucking ridiculous, as is using torches to light your rooms. Batteries must cost far more than a low value led bulb.
It’s not bollocking it’s a fucking mindset, keep on wasting energy and you are literally burning money these days. If educating her in how to save energy and therefore money can only benefit in the long run, same as not running a tap when brushing your teeth when there’s no need.
 
Well, I knew it was coming, but, March this year, bag of smokeless coal £3.99 at most local places, now £7.99 at B and M and £5.99 at Aldi, don’t miss a trick do they, can’t see the justification in price doubling for uk coal, unless somebody knows different ?
 
Your attitude stinks. To advise people to change to leds is far more useful than anything you’ve come up with and your batteries are probably well out of date. You might enjoy calling everyone who doesn’t totally agree with you a **** but you can do one. Your house sounds like a trip hazard in every corner
I wasnt calling you anything , it wasnt aimed at you , ihave discussed my circumstances as everyone who is worrying has done ,i have not been telling people what to do

Do you need to worry about bills ?

Dont call me dear you patronising prick, do you think i have the money to spent for dismantling lighting and ceiling fans and put leds in? The tv is on anyway , my only company as it happens

Course I fucking do .I’ve packed in work to care for my wife with ms because she is getting progressively worse we are living on our work pension and I get a carers allowance so don’t think I’m not under any pressure thanks
 
But surely you save more than that by not travelling to work
I worked for home for the last decade so it's not really an area I can save on, but driving to the office and back maybe would have cost me less in the current climate, so I could well have been huddling in there daily once it hits freezing.

I think we've got our figures right but just seeing the cost physically on a smart meter was pretty worrying. My wife hates the thing and I can imagine some being driven mad by it's constant monitoring of your usage. She's constantly turning it to the wall and I put it back so I can check were not going over budget.

You can definitely get obsessed with looking at the thing ,best to stick it in a cupboard out of the way and check it once or twice a week

Must be worrying as shit on so many levels that, best wishes mate and hope things start to look up soon.

Thank you Harry, you’ve got to remain positive otherwise you will sink without trace.she is an inspiration to me with her attitude and I would do absolutely anything for her.To cap it all we’ve caught covid in the last week and are suffering a bit but lucky to have good friends who rally round with shopping and making meals for us

What size are those bags? I bought some from Wickes last week, 3 x 10kg bags of Brazier for £24, so £8 each 10kg bag. Loving the coals as it lasts into the night & helps maintain a nice warmth overnight.

No worries mate and yes you have to at such times haven’t you, so glad you have a lot of caring people around you, definitely makes a big difference, and she sounds like a cracking girl and I genuinely wish her and you the very best.
