I get toilet roll from Home Bargains, a pack of 32 rolls for about £8! I think the brand is called Nicky, it's got green packaging with a rabbit on it. Lasts ages cos there's only me and my daughter at home!I've just seen 9 Andrex quilted toilet rolls for £6.75, that's nearly double own brand price.
I’ve been using this for years it was £6.99 for 32 rolls and has now gone up to £8.79 where I am.
Was able to book a meter reader to come and take a reading. Seems they didn't get the last photo I took of the meter. Hopefully if I see him I'll watch how he does it so I can do it myself.

Call me a conspiracy theorist but I strongly believe that they want to squeeze the middle earners to exploit them as much as possible.
Once you won't be able to afford anything much, you will be forced to accept any job and any living conditions.
Think the £122 million would have been better spent on providing therapy.

Got mine as a refund in the bank today from BG. My direct debit comes out 10th of the month, so approx a week after.

I keep wearing my big coat to do the school run then regretting it all the way home as I'm sweating!!!
