Gas & Electricity

[jrb]

So far this week. Always a day behind until the readings and costs are updated.

Mrs had the heating on for the best part of this evening, so it will be higher tomorrow when today’s readings and costs are added.

Note the 6pm spike, almost the same everyday. That is when the incentive and reward to cut back on energy usage at that peak time of the evening is being brought in. Also the flat electricity line between 12 and 6pm. Almost everything is turned off in the house.

Hoping to be between £20-£25 this week. Certainly under £25.

Used the Air Fryer for the last 2 days instead of the oven. Getting used to it. Food tastes pretty much the same. Cooked faster and cheaper.

I love my log burner
my log burner loves me
she feeds me heat
which is free from the tree
when it gets chilly
i light my fire
i have no direct debit
which goes higher and higher
outside temp is -9
sat here in my shorts i feel just fine

We opted to change to SMART METERS in September.. new meters were installed then were told a signal could not br reached and the smart little gadget which shows prices was not left with us. Since then we've only had cost of electricity from them each month since. Numerous emails to them . Nothing. Finally got through to some on the phone who didn't sound remotely interested and said they would sort.it.... still nothing done. We are currently over £1500 in credit. I've decided EON NEXT are a bunch of cunts.

Getting a smart meter fitted next Tuesday. Be interested to see my usage and how it compares to their projections as they’ve already been way off but that’s cos I’ve been far more frugal than usual. Think we as a nation have got used to walking round with T-shirts n shorts in the house. Now I layer up. One extreme to the other!!

This is you £2000-£3000 friend.

Thought about it, but I can’t justify the cost and the hassle of finding wood, drying out, etc.

My mate has got one and his double Living/dinning room is warm whenever I go around.

It is, but I’ve only got the rad on in the living room. And I’m pretty much on and off straightaway with every light in the house. When I’m sat in the living room the heating is on just in there, one lamp/bulb is on in there, and the TV and internet is on. That’s it’s. It’s like living in the dark ages throughout the rest of the house. Pretty sad really in 2022.

I have one.
It heats half way up the stairs and no further in an open plan lounge.

Had 2 emails from OVO energy today first saying my smart meter isn't sending readings and asking me to send in manual ones the second saying my dd of £280 isn't enough and asking to raise to £305 if they aren't getting readings how do they know?
3rd on just arrived £311 now.
