EDIT I fixed my tariff for 2 years in February 2022. The writing was on the wall for increases and, although it was a bit more than I was paying, I thought I'd take up the offer (EON Next). Hope its a gamble that pays off.

Clear as mud veggie!

Time to get the Tilly lamps out methinks and buy a small generator!  The cost of candles will rocket next!
