What is the point

[tiggerblue10]

BG and some other electric and gas suppliers are cutting their costs. I got a letter from E.ON last month telling me of the reduction in electric prices. This just seemed a bit poor considering less is used during the summer months. Whats the betting the cost will go up again in October just in time for winter!

My electric use is constant whatever the season, and I'm on a key meter, so I have noticed the difference already - whereas I topped up once a week, it's now once every 10/11 days.

Maybe its just me having a moan then.

[Ethel]

tigger - really hit them where it hurts then . Use air con and fans, make the most of this cheap electricity!

:)

Supply and demand is the answer. There is less demand for electricity in Europe during the summer, so the price falls.

[tiggerblue10]

Tigger goes off to buy loads of fans and air con equipment

[annie0000]

charge up as many batteries as you can while it's cheap and beat the system!

and rechargable batteries

Cook loads of meals for the freezer, to be eaten over winter.

[Eve]

oooh dry all your towels in the tumble dryer after using, nice fluffy towels all the time :)

[tiggerblue10]

Thats a good idea Ethel. Trouble is I'll need to get loads of sealable tubs and maybe another freezer. Lol

[annie0000]

good idea ethel - only problem is that the freezer when full will use less electricity and with it being cheaper at the moment she will still not get the benefit. Maybe she should leave the freezer door open.

[tiggerblue10]

Nice idea Jenna. I do like the smell of drying my washing out in the garden during the summer though.

[tiggerblue10]

Lol Annie. Nice idea (again) but leaving the freezer door open will create frost.

[annie0000]

Maybe you could leave your electricty running - fill up the bath with it and use it in the winter.

[annie0000]

Yeah, then you can put on your heating to combat the frost - everyone's a winner!

[tiggerblue10]

Excellent. Great practical ideas here.

must make notes

[Ethel]

Use your electric hair rollers, then your straightners. :)

Scrub your tiles with your electric toothbrush

[tiggerblue10]

I'm sure the polar bears will love all your excellent ideas ladies. Lol

[mrs.chappie]

Scrub your loo with an electric toothbrush. It'll save your arm from getting tired.

I think Tigger and Blue might appreciate a lovely electric blanket stylee heated cat palace, in fact, one each, in each room, and the garden.
