I started a thread about gas and electricity suppliers, because I have just switched back to Eon from British Gas having checked out all the tariffs (though I think the particular tariff I went for may have been withdrawn now)

You have to bear in mind opening offers (eg Amazon vouchers or cash), length of contract and cancellation charges as well as the monthly direct debit.

By the way folks, under the direct debit scheme a company has to give you 10 days notice in writing if they intend to increase your direct debit. If they don't do that they are in breach of the rules and you should report them to Energywatch - the power industry watchdog and of course complain to the company themselves.

Although, I disagree wholeheartedly on "energy-saving" lightbulbs*. They're fucking useless and best avoided in my opinion.

    • You don't need a gym to lose 10kg. Get a set of dumbbells and maybe a resistance band, find a HIIT channel you like on youtube and workout in your room, eat clean and go out every day. £115/mo is ridiculous. I thought they were supposed to be about £20 to £30 and most people give up come February anyway.
    • Point taken..I go 3-4 times a week and have done every week for several years however £115 a month is still a lot of money for many people (myself included) for a 'non essential' One can if one wishes excersise by running or Cycling, swimming once in a while. Gym membership IS a luxury...
    • Tawny owls are hooting in Dawsons Heights very near me. But very elusive birds. Sadly now on the amber list.  I have heard the owls every night for the past couple of weeks  It is good to know they are here. They are quite loud so I think they are very near. I have never seen an owl in the wild before and wish I  could  see them.
