So could use a cardboard box as a base for pillows? Perhaps I’ll grab a few banana boxes at the supermarket

I would say that would work Fields. Practically, you insulate around your pan in a small space and the food cooks itself in its own heat.

I’m pretty sure I have a smart meter at my new house. It also displayed some sort of credit balance when I flicked through the menu - I think that means I’m on a digital top up meter, in any case I’m on a direct debit as of today and it claimed it would be £85 / month which frankly I find very hard to believe

Definitely not getting a smart meter! We have no phone signal here and wifi is off for about 20 hours per 24 if not completely...

Hanneke - smart meter doesn't run off householders wi-fi. It picks up signal from the new meter which transmits meter readings to energy provider. I find the smart meter quite useful so far.

We almost got a smart meter but when engineer came to fit it he gave up as the connection was too poor!
That’s why I asked when shades said she had one!
We turn tv/sky off at plug when not in use but nothing else

Never really thought about it tbh

We’ve had word from our energy company that our direct debit from April onwards will be double the current amount. How’s everyone else fared?
