Its getting tougher as they years by, as salaries (as far as I know) clearly are not keeping up with the changes (read increases) we see in the house hold bills.
A handy graph from the good folk at the BBC shows this rather well:
Thanksfully for the parents, they are on a fixed rate deal so this insulated them quite nicely for the next two years, but i hate to consider the increase after that – ouch. For my self, time will tell what Sainsbury Energy do, as I am with them. But, as they are British Gas in disguise, I suspect I will suffer the same….
So at the weekend, time to dig out the warm clothing as it starts to get expensive heating the house! Or someone give me some cash?????
