As per many we just about manage, we went from £113 a month duel fuel to £196 a month in April.

By April next year Sky news has reported that it could now be as high as £4430 thats around £370 a month no way can I afford that kind of payment and this is providing the energy companies don't add there own top up on top of this. As the Gov has said average current household is paying about £164 but mine is higher so it could be as high as £400 a month. My daughters afterschool club fees alone are nearly £500 a month. Me and the wife bring home around £2700 a month after tax and insurance etc so £900 could be just on 2 things.

My eldest daughter is 21 this year I wanted to get her a car so she can travel to uni and back. nothing brandnew but something nice but I can't see that happening the way things are going at the moment we are just about managing to get from month to month
