The 30C wash would probably be a little bit cheaper, but I doubt there's much in it. I only wash woolens at 30C. I vaguely recall that a 30C wash may not kill all bacteria, but it's only a vague recollection.

@Topbird unfortunately my supplier isn't as flexible as BG. However, it's not a problem major enough for me to pursue any further. After 2 attempts, my DD has been reduced by £13/month (nowhere near enough). I'll leave it at that until the market settles down and I can look to switch supplier.
I don't mind being in credit at the start of the winter but I shouldn't be come spring. It's frustrating that our supplier doesn't acknowledge that but we'll survive
I asked SSE to reduce mine as I was in credit. When they waffled and said no, I said " Ok, I'll cancel my direct debit and you can sent me a bill every quarter, which I'll get round to paying when it suits me " they reduced the DD.
Sadly - that's often the only way to deal with some companies @Hostafan1. It's ridiculous that people have to do it, but they seem to work on the assumption that people don't bother challenging them so they can get away with it, and many folk just don't challenge companies in any way, shape or form. Same with insurance etc.

I spoke to a funeral director who told me " we charge £150 to courier the ashes back to you" " Why do you use a courier? Are the ashes in a hurry? " Silence.
£150. Ludicrous. It's not as if they have to worry about going out of business... Don't people just pick them up themselves? That's what we've always done.
I expect I'm repeating myself, but I challenged a woman about my car insurance renewal because of that nonsense [now outlawed] about loyal customers being shafted, and the new customers getting all the offers. She was really rude about it. Told her I'd found a better deal and I just wanted to cancel it, but she wasn't taking no for an answer. The usual rubbish about how they could match it etc. Should have done that when you sent the renewal then, was my reply. She wasn't happy

Having done a 2year fix last year with Octopus,at 21.6p day rate electricity,I decided to have a look today,at their current fixes, cheapest is 39p a unit.
I few pages back you mentioned Economy 7 is usually used to get a cheaper rate during the night, but it's not Economy 7 which we use.
The deal we have which gives us 5p per KWH for a limited number of hours overnight is called Octopus Go. The hours it's available suit us for the things we need to do. Our day time rate of 14p is also better than we would be able to get now.
