I’m electric for cooking and have been careful. So far the £66 a month has covered what electric I have used. Gas heating is another matter but was expected.

That is a welcome e mail Aveline.
We are using very little electricity this winter - it is the gas heating that is costing the most.
We cook by electric but are being careful to use it sparingly.
I don’t know why, sorry, but I am sure some of our GN’ers will be along to offer explanations soon.

Just had email from my electricity supplier titled 'change of direct debit'. I quailed and feared the worst. However, it seems that we have used less than half they'd estimated so the DD is now less that half what it was last month.
Along with all the payments received re heating etc I'll have actually paid very little for this year's supply.
What's going on? It's not been too cold a winter and I'm always careful but even so. Is this just electricity companies deliberately setting too high estimates?
