The bill for this last year has come to £1086 . That includes the
central heating last winter.

Our monthly DD is £51... we don't space heat with electricity. I've
just given them a meter reading, online, and I'm reasonably sure I
saw a page flash up saying the the DD is going to rise to £61 and
that I don't need to do anything. Oh yes I fing do, I need to contest
that DD rise. I want to be under paying a little rather than over a
lot!

My eco conscious and money miser husband thinks our bill is high and
wants me to look for ways to cut it.

You haven't managed to chuck him out yet then?

He says our bill is high ( the DD is £26 a month ) but I cant see where
its going other than on things I need now.

12 X 26 = £312. Bill £1086 = shortfall of £774. The power companies
are normally very good at ensuring that they owe you money all the
year rather than the other way round. OK we are talking Bristish Gas
but I don't think even they are that incompetent. B-)
