Are You SERIOUS With This?!?

How's Yours?


Article heading image for Are You SERIOUS With This?!?

If you heard a scream yesterday evening it may have been my household screaming when we opened the latest power bill.

Oh......my......god!!!!!

In the interests of full disclosure and for the sake of the story I'll let you know that it's $589, a vast jump from the last one.

I knew the power was going to go up under the new state regime, around 10.9%, and so I was expecting something but this was an electrical shock that nearly booted me across the room.

The Carlton Supporter goes bonkers when I walk around and turn off power points and I might be the most anal light nazi in existence, and, the air cond does not get much of a run after warming up the house, so how the heck did this happen?

Maybe it's the electric blankets!

I will take in ironing before that happens, I need my leccy blanket.

In all seriousness though, we can afford the jump, but what of the people who can't? I've heard stories of households that HAVE to choose between eating and heating and in 2017 in a supposedly affluent state I find that outrageous.

Tell me your stories, I really would like to find out how things are at your place.
