You can refuse to have your direct debits increased , i always do , they settle for a lot less than they quoted and it always covers it , sharks

Doubling energy bills in October isn't going to work for most of us.

I cannot afford £6,000 a year on my own.

Forget kettles, if people do want to save money over the winter than a new dryer is probably a far better way of saving money.

We bought one in June. Used it twice on really full loads and it cost us 30p (with a £400 outlay for the machine). 70% saving now per load.

It'll cost us 55p per load after October, whilst it’ll be £1.82 for you.

£1.27 saving per load adds up pretty quickly.

Our dishwasher is old, but the cost of a new one and the savings it makes means it isn’t as cost effective to replace that at the moment.
It is an expensive machine to run though at £0.55 per cycle currently, which will jump to about a pound in October.

Or better still, buy a maiden and do the washing up yourself, you'll save a fortune.

Not sure it’ll save that much, running a sink full of hot water will probably be 50p+

I'd put any spare cash on it that it wont go up in October, it will be capped at the rate your paying today, Government know full well that shops will close and people will die

we can’t afford to dry the washing on the radiators as much over the winter.

This is what worries me, two teenage boys who play sports 5 times a week and go through uniform and regular clothes like there is no tomorrow, coupled with mine and the wife's own daily clothes and work clothes how the bloody hell are we going to dry that lot through the wet, cold dark months?

Radiators will be on constantly seven days a week and we have no room for a tumble dryer, summer hasn't been too bad, weather has been mostly nice and dried every day on the line but we really are dreading winter.

They tried to get me to fix at 60p electric and 20p gas.for months and I’ve held off so I’m still winking, just. Gas doubling is taking the piss, used fuck all since April and now just as we need it, boom.
