“Hello Octopus,
I've found today on my Imbox your mistaken claim: 'we'll
collect your monthly Direct Debit payment of £320.65 on 2nd January.'
You collected your last Direct Debit payment on 2nd
December. The payment was excessive, I changed the supplier to Gas and
Electricity.”
What made my electricity consumption excessive? For the last
three years, my water is barely lukewarm when I turn the ‘hot water’ on. Prior
to December 2nd, before going to bed I shaved and had a bath. To
make the water bearably warm I filled with water the electrical jug which I normally
use for making my tea – I let the ‘hot water’ running on minimum, and as the
bath tub was slowly filling, I was bringing jug after jug of almost boiling
water to the bath tub; I always filled the jug to its full capacity, 1.7L. Since
it was happening in the evening, on daytime electricity tariff, it must have
been pretty expensive. I simply could not go on like that.
The changes I have made are drastic. I’ve begun to make my
daily shavings and baths strictly in the night-time, after midnight and before
7 in the morning, and no hot water added. I can do it, for instead of soap I
use a cream, which I quickly wash off and jump up from the tub.
Clearly, my electricity consumption must have dropped
considerably.
It would be great if somebody came and looked at the temperature
of the water in which I am thus compelled to shave, wash myself, and wash my
dishes.
