@Dame_Ann_Average posted:I know Baz, plus I have a boiler so don't have to heat my water. This is ucking crazy! I won't starve and certainly will be able to heat and eat, although I will still have to cut my cloth elsewhere. I don't know how some are going to cope, people are going to die
I have a boiler , but keep my water on manual ā¦.so just put it on for an hour at a time. Like you I can just about afford things , but tbh Iām quite extravagant food wise so I can cut down there if needs be ā¦.and quite frankly as Iām here all day Iād rather cut down on food than be cold .

just have mine on schedule but not in all day so no point having the heating on -but its still not cheap - we always have hot water and can overide everything if we need it on longer

I don't have the heating on and like I said my water is instant, so my boiler is rarely on through summer...I was just shocked at the amount of the bill considering for the most part I was here on my own.
