No I don't have airsource now as I said oil.

I've had the email from Bulb about the increases from 1at April - my monthly bill is going up by 40%, with the worst parts of the increase being gas up by 80% per kw/h and the daily standing charge for electricity going up by 57%.

With the gas supply from Russia not looking like a good long term strategy for the EU, I'm hoping that this will encourage huge investments in Green Energy and Nuclear energy sources. Obviously, we need to turn the tap off on Russian gas.

It's ok the Africans are putting in a heated oil pipeline for us now.

Solid fuel which also heats some of the water up

Contemplating changing our windows for new double glazing . Old windows are probably not the best, some leak as well and one or two at drafty. Already got new back door and utility doors ordered. Which should help with as kitchen can get cold.

My partner's bill has shot up to £185/month (gas and electric). She's trying to keep the heating on very low now and use her wood burner in the lounge more, as my Dad had a huge (dead) oak tree fall down in the storm so a few years worth of wood is coming our way if we help chop it up.

I'm still in credit, but I don't know how much I'm actually using becasue EDF still have not created a bill online. I only know I'm paying £52/month for dual fuel, but for all I know I could be using £80/month and eating into my credit

I'd say almost certainly you are unless you are on a fixed tariff and/or very frugal with the gas and leccy

Wow ! That seems a lot if you do not rely on electric heating.

Family of 4 and everything that goes along with it.

Wouldn't mind but it was only £40-60 a few years ago

Hmm, it must be bloody hard to raise children in this current financial situation. I remember just trying to 'teach' them to turn off unused lights
was a thankless task. Nowadays it almost becomes essential.
Tumble dryers, dishwashers 'et al' all sucking up the electricity.

TV's, Tablets, games consoles, PC's, laptops for homework.....

It's hard enough to get them to shut the back door, never mind turning appliances off

Get a solar panel out in the garden for charging the laptops, tablets and consoles…………but it still seems pretty high
