DaleP Posted July 11, 2022 Share Posted July 11, 2022 10 hours ago, Saved said: The wife and I live separately, though reconciled in all other ways, and so I initially moved into an over 50's complex with the same housing association. All heating (gas) is in with the rent - and that rent cannot go up beyond a certain amount because it is protected under some social housing law. Therefore, I could have the heating on 24/7/365 and not have to spend an extra penny. My electric bill is only tiny because I have use of a free launderette in the complex and tend to do all my charging at work and water is in with my rent as well. But for the permanent use of three fans right now, my electric bill is around £5 per week. Should my family not be able to afford to heat their house sufficiently this coming winter, or afford the electric bill (five of them use up a huge amount - mainly washing and drying clothes) they can come around mine for 75% of the time; just going home to sleep. It is a sad thought that they might have to come around mine for a warm in a 'developed' nation but I can see what was originally a disaster to me last November (splitting) as becoming a providential blessing. The average age of folk in this complex is over 75 and it's pleasing to know that there are 50 elderly people who won't have to choose between dying of starvation or pneumonia. That was already a thing for years before the deliberate destruction of our economy, but is going to be exponentially worse this winter. Can we also visit you? We could have a good sing along while we wait for the clothes to dry. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of decorative solar lamps are better than they used to be too, as they only need daylight rather than sunshine, so that's another plan - plus I've a camping lamp which the battery for some reason has had plenty of use over the last 8 years yet is still going strong in (and a stash of spare batteries ready). The telly will stay off, as will the central heating, and my electric fire can run for a brief time daily to take the chill off. I've a camping stove and a stash of gas cannisters, but I also have a Ninja Foodie which is more economical to run than a big oven and you can do pretty much anything in. If they increase my DD, I'll go into my on-line account and decrease it again and if they play silly beggars I'll cancel it altogether - they'll be like headless chickens because there's be so many people in arrears. Oh, return of wind up camping light! Do they last long though? I guess winding could substitute your daily exercise? tbh, lightbulbs aren't the problem, things like oven costs.

Things like fridges & washing machines & showers are problematic because those things can't really be substited their usage be reduced easily. I just stocked up initially in case of power cuts. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She said bills are going through while we're looking the other way. Also that parliament, especially the opposition are calling for restrictions and mask mandates. And that Tom Tugenghat is the only one who voted against vaccine passports. This is the third summer that I've thought we have to find a way to get ready for the winter / autumn bombardment, and I'm still no closer to realising what to do to make a difference in the lull before the bloody storm. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Ozzie was going mental at himself, bitching at his wife. When he was winning too. kyrgios is not the full ticket & a drama queen, shame coz hes a good tennis player.
