I have always been on the fence with smart meters , i have had lots of feedback on here and have decided not to , i would be totally obsessed with looking at it which wouldnt help my anxiety , i prefer to cut back as much as possible , i can do it being on my own in a small spaceIs a smart meter a good idea? I'm with EDF and keep fucking them off every time they suggest fitting one! I thought there were issues with them when switching suppliers so was holding off as long as possible.
Just did 2 lots of drying yesterday alone!We bought a condenser dryer in the summer and drying 2 lots of washing a week costs about 75p.
The dishwasher is more expensive to run for us, but is still cheaper than washing everything by hand. economic dishwashers are really expensive to buy.
Mad that it’s come to this, but I guess it’s the best thing for the environment.Just did 2 lots of drying yesterday alone!
Dishwasher pretty cheap for us actually, although it's a new one with an eco mode (we rent so not bought by us). Takes about 5 hours but costs about 40/50p I think.
Don’t you can get obsessed by it, just turn stuff off if you don’t need it and if you can’t afford itIs a smart meter a good idea?

We are currently £685 in credit, to date this month we have spent a combined toatal of £60. Our DD is £257 but they want to up it to £350. Is it me or are they just trying to use us as their bank?I love how OVO have my bill as receiving a £66 monthly refund and seem to be deducting/showing it as coming off my £560 in credit?
Surely that money is mine in the first place, so how can it be listed as a refund?
I assumed the £66 I started getting last month was the government assistance money?
We've spent £48 this month so far on gas and electric, yet they are saying we will be -£350 in the next 12 months.
My maths aren't the best but surely the £95 a month we are paying at present pretty much covers that £48 spent so far this month.
So why the fuck do they want us to increase our direct debit to £125 a month?
I think a lot of people will be using far less heating so far this year to previous ones.I don’t seem to be spending a huge amount more than I was. The £66 credit is actually leaving me better off at the moment. I’m surprised everyone gets it but I suppose it’s the easiest way of administering it. Saying that I read today that an NHS Trust paid £2500 for one nursing shift and that the rates agencies charge are uncapped! I bet the nurse got £150 of that!
