What will they do - when folk literally cannot afford to pay any longer - the extortionately high prices for :

household fuel
food & essentials
petrol

? ? ? ? ?


British Gas are now the third supplier to hike their prices up this month - 15%


But when will it all end - do they really think we all have bottomless purses ? ? ?

** sheilds eyes from Anita post **

I made a pack wiht myself not to worry or think about it anymore.....

or wallets Anita

but the wotld is in crisis

so what can we do

Sxx

Awww soz Hayley lol

I know what you mean - I try not to worry but can't help it - with wage increases falling far behind the cost of living increases, it's starting to become a real stretch and I just worry how far will they push us all towards the poverty line :O((

Sorry Steve - figure of speech only lol

I'm sure your wallet has flinched a wee bit lol

You know I an't got a bean in my purse....am I bovver nope....:-))))))))))))))))))))))))))

We are looking twice before purchasing non essentials...... at least the spring is on the way - no lighting bills and no heating on then either.

have you looked round for better energy deal,,,,,??
I did and B/G owed me over £300,,when I left them,,,,,,,,,,

Last year it used to cost me £850 to fill the truck up with diesel ( firms money ) now it is already over the £1100 mark .

Hi Kay

Yes I changed my supplier back in October as my old supplier doubled my monthly fee - and I only have electric !!

Im with EDF but am looking at that E.On as they claim its greener leccy - its not the cheapest switch over but will stil save me a few hundred quid - has anyone experiance of E.On?

Our local 'T' supermarket has raised the price of unleaded 3 times in one week !!

E.On is just the new name for Powergen.

I agree with the basic premise, but I wouldn,t be an old person if I didn,t say we used to have proper inflation - but realise that sentiment is not much good to struggling families today.

Happy days

soon everyone will be getting a generator,,,,,,,,!!and buring wood..........!!!

well I'm with SWALEC for both gas and elecrricity and the day before yesterday they rang to tell me they are reducing my monthly payments cos I'm a loyal customer!! I'm on Easywarm for the over fifties and pay a fixed sum every month and can use as much as I like, so it does seem strange that British Gas are hiking their prices

Anit you know when you writing a letter and you put your address and ir address on the left hand side which one do you put first theirs or yours ?

Thanks x

I am unemployed...not through any fault of my own, simply my employer decided they could get cheaper staff by going overseas with their call centre operations. Beacuse OH is at work I get £59.15 a week to live on and to pay for such things as attending selection tests and assessment centres (the DSS will only pay travel costs of 'interviews').
We still have to pay council tax, bills and heat and light our home. It is a ruddy struggle and if it wasn't for a close family we would be suffering even more
