No but there's rooms they've not been in for years that they're heating, having the window open and the heating on, having the hot water on all day and then not having a bath, so much stuff they do boggles my mind and there's so much more they do on top of that, I will check it out but I wouldn't be shocked if I come away without a discount
Maybe electric heaters as well?

Definitely, one of them is all but housebound now and stays down stairs with one on all day and night, I say to her she's not getting the benefit as there is usually something in between it and her but it's like banging your head against a poorly insulated wall, I am going to have to ring on their behalf soon as although they're very blasé now, this is pre the massive price rises

There's a law that prevents energy companies from back-billing more than 12 months if the customer is not at fault for the billing delay. It could save you a sizeable amount of what's been requested.

Try not to make any snide comments about her or her disability- this is likely to create a barrier between you both and you won't get anywhere.

Try to mind your own business, I'm not interested in anything you have to say on this or anything else

This is exactly the sort of attitude that I fear you will be adopting with the lady in question. Your treatment and attitude towards those with disabilities is well documented, hopefully the fact that you will be speaking to your partners mother will encourage you to speak to her in a respectful and empathetic manner.

I wish you luck, as it does sound like a horrendous amount they are spending on energy.

Yes my treatment of people with disabilities is well documented on here, Jefferson was one of my oldest and closest friends. My treatment towards you is nothing to do with disabilities, it's just I find you deeply unpleasant, as do most users of this forum

Nonsense. A quick look at both our previous posts shows the exact opposite of your ascertation. You were recently accused by admin of having an immature disposition, which I have now witnessed for myself

What's nonsense, that Jefferson and I were friends or that most users of this forum find you unpleasant?

Re: Energy companies collapse

For anyone who like me was transferred to British Gas when their supplier went bust or is with them through choice, I did a live chat with them last week and have switched to their HomeEnergy Secure June 2023 tariff. It's is actually a few pounds per month cheaper than the price cap and, as the name suggests, is fixed until June next year so I'm protected against the expected rises in the price cap.

The whole of your post is nonsense.

The old "It's not because you're black/gay/disabled/female etc (delete as appropriate), it's because I don't like you defense has been tried, and failed, for years, as has the "I can't be ableist because I had a disabled friend/those I know are OK" proclamations.

Anyway, rather than waste time on this, I suggest that you spend some time thinking about the tone and vocabulary that you are going to use when speaking to your mother in law.

As someone of advancing years with a disability and obviously female, she may well find your advice (however well intentioned) to be patronising and interference into her personal financial affairs.

You are going to have to be very careful how you handle this. In fact, your apparent poor social/interaction skills may only serve to make matters worse by causing family rifts. Thinking about it, it's probably a better idea for your partner to broach the subject.

So you thought it would be a good idea to do some shit stirring about a sensitive subject? Really?

You have absolutely nothing to support your allegation that this is the definitive truth and are either simply trolling or, for reasons that aren't difficult to work out, are purposely trying to cause upset and unpleasantness for a severely disabled member of this forum.
