I’ve just had my new ‘forecast’ and it’s saying I need to be paying £595 per month to ‘stay on track’

Obviously I can’t afford this, I’m already in huge debit in my account as I can only just afford half of this!

So I neeeeeed some tips on how to cut my useage, we must be using way over the average but I just can’t see how we’re that much over
I’ll be honest I don’t understand a lot about heating etc, if we’re cold I flick it on, when we’re not I flick it off, it’s on a timer so I don’t mean every single time, but I don’t know what our thermostat is set to (don’t even know what that means) I just go off what the temp on the dial says and if it’s low I’ll press boost, so I need people to talk in very simple terms here 🙈

Why has no one mentioned insulation? Did OP say she rents and can't insulate?

I don't want to say just how much lower our bill is: a lot lower. 5 bed house but only 4 ppl at moment, I suppose.
