Just received an electric bill for 700 pounds. I have never had such a ridiculous bill. I phoned to ask for someone to come and check the meter but have to wait several weeks. How much will I be owe by then! I am very careful about how much we use and nothing has changed in the household. How can I go from electric bills of 250 to 700 and counting? It has gone up over 60 pounds in just a week and a half since my last call - the woman never phoned me back so I had to call them yet again! I feel sick. This woman was very helpful and told me to 'economise' until the meter is checked. I could have been growing a large crop of cannabis plants for less money!
