Just sent off my meter readings today, they said I've no real need to but at least I know they've got it up to date.
My next d/d payment in October will be £48 and apparently for the next 6 months, so with that, plus the Winter fuel payment and I'm well in credit, if I don't go berserk with the utilities we should be fine, but it's still a lot.
Sent off the first of January's readings this morning and still over £500 in credit.
