Bairnardo Posted April 14, 2022 Share Posted April 14, 2022 Finally, after years of being a catch-all nugget of advice for all scenarios, it is sadly time to retire "windows down, heating up full blast". I have no idea how the energy crisis is going to affect me financially, its a wait and see job. I do know I am going to install solar panels as a way to offset it but other than that, me and my household need to tighten our game. And there's nothing like a crisis to make you realise how ill prepared you are. I recently read (having boiled a kettle for water to cook stuff in for years) that heating your water on the gas hob is actually cheaper. Does anyone else know stuff that might in some small help people who are really going to struggle? One wee tip on here might seem like f**k all but when folk are picking between heat or food..... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ron Aldo Posted April 14, 2022 Share Posted April 14, 2022 People who smoke are always talking about how much money they save after they quit. My advice is therefore to take up smoking then quit straight away. Think of the savings! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, save money on heating bathwater by covering yourself in your granny's old Ralgex. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
