It’s your hard earned money Dex, and looking after it is your responsibility. I don’t want any Tom, Dick, or Harry dibbing into my account. Isn’t keeping track of your own spending and withdrawals worth keeping track of? The trouble with us humans is…We always take the path of least resistance…Using plastic to pay for stuff and contactless too. Direct Debit so we don’t have to waste time with financial rubbish…I’m surprised at a mathematician not keeping a sharp eye on his spending.

Oh I do!!! As said, I view it as another bank account and control how much goes into it. I also trust heir ability to estimate usage and hence likely cost. Why have a dog and bark yourself? They’ve not got it wrong so far.

I use electricity and absolutely no gas (gas turned off, by request, at the meter - nothing left that uses gas, here) and, I’m paying, for that electricity: £211.00 per month. Go, figure! 
This is just anecdotal but a Yorkshire lady at my seniors club was phoned last week by her niece (might have been granddaughter) from the UK (presumably Yorkshire but not sure) to say that her family was paying £100 a WEEK for electricity. We were all suitably shocked.
BTW this lady has a broad Yorkshire accent and her niece also told her that she sounded very Australian but with a posh accent. The meeting erupted in laughter at this.
Hi
Very helpful. Thanks.
Hey Foxy you like to get out & about, get your blood circulating, trot around the block.
Some of these over 50s think survival is all about huddling around the radiator, counting the kilowatt hours.
An Englishman’s home is his castle, open the doors & windows every morning, let some air through, tarzan chest beating, bugger off for the day.

I like to wear shorts but more jazzy socks are essential.
Just plain white socks and trainers while wearing shorts for me d00d.
Electric blankets?
Blimey, that’s a blast from the past.
I’ll be keeping my Carmen rollers and that’s that !

Me too, I wear shorts all year for every occasion, except weddings, funerals and rare winter visits to Canberra.
