The gas bill is tiny,it's all electric so it's gotta be the storage heaters....which have been turned off since May,am with Scottish Power by the way.
I switched to Scottish Power because I was told it was cheaper. My bills for Ossy are enormous - mostly the gas bill, although the heating is turned down to 10 degrees when we're not there (most of the time). I rang and queried it when they told me they wanted to put my direct debit up to £140 A MONTH!!! - I did say it was a 3 bed end of terrace, not a 15 room mansion with east and west wings, so they've asked me to check the meter. Thank God the heating is off at the moment - otherwise eating would become a dim and distant memory!
