Hi AG1. Yes, I'm still here and still offering an extra £30 for anyone using my Bulb referral link, payable by your choice of PayPal, bank transfer or Amazon gift card. My link is below at the foot of my post but I've also replied to your message. Thanks.

To celebrate my Bulbiversary (1 year with Bulb) they’re doubling my referral rewards from Thursday 13th December to midnight on Wednesday 19th December. Sign up to Bulb during that period via my referral link and we both get £100 account credit on your switch date: £100 Bulb Referral Link...

Usage is probably a bigger factor but unit rates do vary for different locations, as is the case with all energy suppliers as far as I know.

Unfortunately yes. Their email said my costs would go up by £1.44 per month, so I can live with that. Still well ahead of the competition for my location and usage. When that substantially changes I'll switch.

Just to update the above, the total number of Bulb customers now exceeds 450,000. Phenomenal growth in such a short space of time.

As of 2 months ago Bulb had over 330,000 customers. Pretty impressive growth from next to no advertising, largely thanks to the referral programme.

The £100 referral from Bulb was only for a limited period in November. You could've got £80 via my link though. £50 from Bulb plus £30 from me. No time limit on my offer.

Bulb's prices are rising by 2.8% based on a typical home, which they equate to £2 per month. As always, best to use a comparison site like MoneySavingExpert's Cheap Energy Club or uSwitch to see how they come out for your location and usage. They're still ahead of the pack for me, even more so...

I'm offering an extra £30 to anyone switching via my referral link, payable by PayPal, bank transfer or Amazon gift card when the switch completes. So you get £50 account credit from Bulb plus £30 from me, £80 all up. Click below to get a quote then message me via TMS to arrange the bonus...

I've got an older smartphone with not much spare memory so use Clean Master Lite, which has a junk file cleaner, phone boost, battery saver and antivirus checker. There's also a WhatsApp boost function which seems to periodically allow you to free up some much needed RAM. Altogether quite useful...

For anyone considering investing via a broker platform on a bigger scale, the Monevator website has a good interactive comparative tool, where you input your investing intentions and it tells you which broker/platfom is the cheapest. It covers over 20 platforms, including Degiro: Monevator...

I'd agree with the above. Also have a look around for current account switching offers to earn some extra cash. Some banks will require you to pay in x amount every month to satisfy the requirement for the switching bonus (i.e. your salary), but there are sometimes others, like recently...

I'm just glad you said "plucking"!

What you needed was a dead pheasant plucker! To cheer yourself up, say the following aloud as fast as you can and keep repeating: "I am not a pheasant plucker, I'm a pheasant plucker's son. I am only plucking pheasants 'till the pheasant plucker comes"

I think the internet has a lot to answer for (he says sitting at a computer on the internet). We're in a brave new world of smartphones and tablets, offering 24-hour access to games, videos, tv, chat rooms and social media. Most kids seem to live their lives looking at pixels. Activities and...
