Is anyone a bit nervous

[Dr_Rick]

Is anyone really nervous about the size of their heating bill from this winter? I know I am. Last winter we had a £500/qtr gas bill. This year I have a child born on the 3rd Dec to keep warm.

I know I'm jut going to have to suck it up and pay but I do see energy suppliers as legalised thieves.

Don't forget one child was born in a stable with no heating and went on to become quite famous!

Based on last nights performance, this one might be visiting said shed.

Nothing beats a stable relationship.

I expect mine to be quite large as now I'm unemployed and at home all day the heating is on most of the time. I'm thinking this quarter is likely to be £350.

Could hit the local library if you're worried about fuel prices, I suppose.

That would mean driving into town, possible car parking costs which would probably be the equivalent of the energy costs saved...so no real saving
I'm not worried about it, just expecting a doubling of electricity bill this quarter....I could always put on another jumper

Paranoia about a huge gas bill has lead me to read the meter regually and enter figures into a spreadsheet, and its not too bad so far, but sitting here wincing every time the boiler kicks in which seems to be every 2 minutes at the moment!

Albeit mainly famous for being nailed to a cross and left to die. I think I'll pass on the kind of fame, if you don't mind...

Oh, and it's worth pointing out that the daytime temperature in Bethlehem at the moment is 22 degrees, despite the fact that the sun isn't shining.

Yeah, that was my conclusion in the end (work from home but could equally work in library if I'm sly about it).

£500 a quarter? what are you heating, a mansion ?

I've got the same issue, but the fleece lined hiking trousers are doing a great job

On 16 December I had the oil tank filled to 95% capacity, about 1,200 litres of gasoil. I will run out of oil on Tuesday morning, thus having consumed 1,200 litres in 27 days at a cost of 630 pounds. Beat that!

Are you sure someone hasn't knicked it?

Invest in a hot water bottle! There only a £1 in Poundland!

We had new double glazing and doors last winter, and cavity wall insulation installed during the summer.

We've used less gas then last year

I was about to say I could beat that - we burnt £200 of propane in 14 days heating a leaky 17th century thatched cottage Christmas 2000. But I see you're ahead of me by about 50%. Top global warming there.

No, ex-Steps singer Faye Tozer was born in Dunstable.
