Those people on minimum wage jobs doing 80 hour weeks will take comfort in knowing they just need to work more hours and stop being lazy.

How would he know? He never does any fucking work. Best route OUT of poverty. If you’re not in poverty due to your rich parents then you get to lecture the minions about being lazy. |

£1,900 to £2,800

Just heard that myself. At this point a competent government might intervene.
When oil and gas are making record billions it's beyond parody.

About what was expected then. £450 a month energy bill come October. People are going to die.

A cold house is jut the extra incentive needed to push people into finding those 4th or 5th jobs

When I got my smart meter installed the installer gave some great energy saving tips such as use the microwave instead of the oven and hob to cook food.
I bet all these poor people just have ignored that fantastic advice

Under much duress, I have caved in and put the hot tub for the kids for half term. Mates have one and put theirs up about 10 days ago. Apparently it's adding at least a fiver a day to their electricity bill. Gulp. Plan is to lower it to a maintenance heat unless being used, not have it blaring away at 38-40 all the time. Will reassess after a month...

We got one in lockdown one. Inflatable job. Those things are *fucking* expensive to run. Running it doubled our electricity use!
I just turn the heating off completely over night.

Yeah, ours is the same. First year I turned the heat down overnight and then turned it up if being used. Last year I left it at a constant temperature. Not sure k noticed much of a difference in cost tbh. This year may be frightening.

Not sure k noticed much of a difference in cost tbh. Yeah, I do get the feeling I might be wasting my time. With the heater off, it would only lose single digits in deg so I guess the insulation works quite well. Plus then getting it back up to temperature would take more than just maintaining it during the day so I'm not surprised it makes little difference in the grand scheme of things. |

It always was a luxury, but even more so now. But we're not going abroad this year and it does get a lot of use by the kids during the holidays and weekends. Definitely won't stay up as long mind you. Last 2 years we eked it out until the October half term, when it got used once or twice, but bugger all in the whole month otherwise.

Think I will settle for eating a can of beans and then a bath an hour later. Always quite fancied getting a nice hot tub but not now. I wonder how much it will affect the companies that make them.

Massively, you couldn't get them for love nor money the last 2 years. Now Lazy Spa have a massive ad campaign, it's obviously hitting them hard. I was a very reluctant convert at the start of lockdown but have used it quite a bit myself at the end of a long day/week at work. If we can't justify it, I'll bin it off for a few weeks until the summer hols.

I was delivering quite a few of them in lockdown and the company that was sending them must have had a problem with their system as the kept endlessly sending them to this old couples house. Their daughter had bought one and I kept arriving with one every day for over a week. I had to attempt the delivery regardless, fortunately they saw the funny side.

Petrol up to 185p a litre in my local. Feels like there’s no end to it going up at the mo. Where does it end? £3 a litre?

It’s 185.9p here and more than diesel.
