electricity and gas bills

So, after that epic winter there were two things I was dreading. First of these was standing on the scales. I mean it was so cold there wasn't much healthy eating going on. It's almost like I was trying to get a layer of blubber to keep the cold out. All I got though was an inflated belly. I haven't stepped on the scales yet. I'll leave that til the spring.

The other thing I were dreadin' were t'electricity bill (actually it's a combined gas and elec bill). And how. I mean where I live the weather's mild usually so the heating's never on between April and October, so not much gas used. And electricity, well, that's usually in check but December's the month of  heavy electricity use cos of being indoors so much in the cold weather and needing lights on, and using the oven for roasts etc etc.

But the bill, in the end, wasn't too bad at all - it was about £110 for the quarter to end of January. Not bad, eh? 

How did you get on with your last power bill?

electricity is changing OK, electricity itself isn't actually changing, that would be a bit scary. But the way it's produced is changing. The pace of change seems to have speeded up lately - the internet has become something people access from a phone. Electric cars are on sale. Eggs cost about four times what they used to cost. This were all fields when I were a lad. And so on. The biggest change in electricity production is the move away from coal fired power stations. Amazing structures though they were (just look at Battersea power Station for awesomeness) coal burning is yesterday's way...

Energy monitors - electricity users gain If you're an electricity consumer - and I'm guessing you are - then you're likely to be able to get hold of an electricity monitor - I don't know if all suppliers do them, so if you're desperate to get one you would maybe need to change supplier... anyway, the smart monitor is here and it chnages the game from the consumer point of view because you get to see how much the juice is costing when you (for instance) switch on the washing machine or your new LCD television. What this is likely to mean for consumers is twofold...
