    Prices of the electricity we use to charge

    May have to pause on that for a few days, as my washer decided to have a door malfunction so I won't be using the dryer much more than a few towels a day. However I will take pics of the reading from today to compare normal daily dryer and min dryer usage. I assume this is the reading we are...

    Open fire sounds so nice, my cat gives you a thumbs up for that, or paw. I hear that's common, I rent so I have never looked in to it. My flat was built in 1992 & bodge jobbed for sure, the double glazing is lip service. Even though I have been here nearly 17 years the last person let the...

    ooh lots to read, I'll put the lappy on for all that save a few pennies. I know what I have spent for a day being on prepay, every day I make a note, at the same time of my remaining credit in pounds & pence, then work out the difference between the one day and the next, then collate an average...

    All too common now-a-days, I try, although it is hard at times, to get the same news story from various parties before making up my own mind about the subject, its all to vague, one size fits all left or right narratives woven in a string of opinion segments more than just facts and two sides...

For my I7 I am still MX-4 works alright for mine - idle temps as I am typing this 24-33 across 4 cores, after a quick hour on Borderlands 3 - I put way too much on but with one plastic push pin on my intel stock cooler bust I daren't...

    Years, more like decades. From how I understand it, and please do correct me if I am wrong. The energy "market" places a price on the production cost & in the 1980's a price equation was set for labour, raw materials etc & then a small percentage is added for profit; on the most expensive...

    I will read that, I have access to my credit report and there is no mention of TSB on there, GDPR did cross my mind however I see no future involving a mortgage any time soon lmao & I think a lot who have mortgages now may also find themselves in the same boat.

    Kudos "tentacles" I may steal that line... Yes, no doubt the tentacles will knock something over or switch something off, although I am a little better protected from increased amounts I still fear the worst... That's a little known trick, although not for the faint of heart, as I understand...

    I will give bulb there due all most all emails I sent have had a decent outcome. There was a little oddity with the energy voucher (on prepay I get a redeemable voucher for the Post Office), the first came through email & the second via post, when I emailed to ask where it was I got an odd...

    Wouldn't that be £900 higher due to the £400 rebate is not universal 2023, I heard there will be targeted support 2023, "targeted" most likely translates to jump through hoops or stigmatised. I fear a dystopian future for many soon than anyone had imagined, anyone in the benefits only or low...

    Prices of the electricity we use to charge

    Tbf I read somewhere that "pay on bill" or "pay monthly[non- DD]" was now slightly more expensive than prepay. I doubt any company would be able to save me much if anything in the current market & personally I feel that some folks are deluded if they think prices will fall, ever. The...
