Fuel bill rant.
Ok, I don`t have big bills as I live alone and I control what`s used. My gas fluctuates between winter and summer due to heating requirements but my electric is pretty constant and hardly changes. My last quarterly bill for electric was £120......this quarter, similar usage, is £242...wtf? I know prices have increased but this seems ridiculous to me. Gas went from £60 for last quarter to £109 which is quite a hike for my usage but nothing compared to the electric hike
My electric usage is always pretty constant / consistent but double the usage? I`d love to know what on.

It's ridiculous , I turned up our road , and I could see our house
Straight away , I'm not kidding , every light on , heating on
And guess what , no ones even in
I've moaned and shouted till I'm blue in the face , but all I get is I didn't leave em on
So I've now given up and said I'm not paying it
So the mrs and eldest daughter pays it and they still don't think about saving money ( even though its coming out their pockets )

I'm surprised you've not been dobbed in by the local helicopter police when they use that heat camera thingy. Your house must look like it's got a cannabis farm in the roof!

Omg
Think you need to put a lock on the heating system and make them wear headband torches and make them wear extra pair of socks and thermals and a coat and hat in the house and no tv for a month as punishment

This time last year my fuel combined bill was £15 A DAY.
The wife fecked off, 3 of my 4 sons got their own places to live.
I moved from a big detached house to an apartment and I now have peace and quiet and a fuel bill of £1.50 a day.

Gas and electric winter usage per month is about £160 here and closer to £100 a month when the heatings off between April - October. That's a terrace with solid walls so not the most energy efficient house.

Recently moved to a new house and seem to have used most if the tank of oil I filled in November- £600 worth. Ouch. Roll on warmer weather so I can turn the damn heating off!
That doubling of the bill does seem rather odd.
