Ep - 55 Get ready for winter now
The energy price cap will fall again at the beginning of October, but will still be very high.
Meanwhile the nights are drawing in and lights are needed earlier.
Before it gets cold we need to look at how we can save money on heating, lighting and to cut our monthly direct debits.
And maybe it is time to check out whether you would save money by fixing your energy tariff or to find out whether you can get a grant paid directly into your bank account to improve the insulation in your home. Households can typically save £310 a year on energy bills.
Now is also the time to establish the rules for Christmas giving and to sell stuff you no longer need or use, to fund the festive season. Leave it too late and January will be a very tough month.
