My retirement pot is not index linked but is invested in the falling stockmarket. I may have to get a job at this rate. Missus is genuinely worried about how her mum will pay her bills with just a state pension. I pretended none of this was happening but the other half is now on the case and looks like we're going in fixed at aroudn the same £420 which has more than doubled she mentioned something about 2 more increases after October but there's no notice period/exit fee on this fixed term, so if things weren't as bad as expected, we can shop around well, she can shop around I'll just pretend it's not happening or anything to do with me, and wear extra jumpers when WFH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mounts Kipper Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 (edited) I’m thinking wife packs in part time job which would just about cover the fuel cost here in UK and spend winter in Spain where I won’t need the gas and electricity so much. I won’t gain financially but won’t be any worse off and the wife gets to pack in work and we will be in a decent climate.

Hugely suffering from a water shortage in some areas, which is impacting on food production (tomatoes for example). Someone interviewed from the country explaining that they need a huge review and change to their water management. You might be warm, but you might be thirsty!

Saw news article yesterday Spain spending on new desalination plants, not the cheapest way to produce drinking water but I suppose it’s needed as a back up if all else fails.

Indeed. Then begs the question, where does the energy come from to do that? Kinell, here the authorities are having to plan for insufficient electricity this winter because of Norway's good weather. Its made their hydro electricity supply vulnerable which means they may have to use their own gas instead, which in turn may mean reduced supplies to customers. Meanwhile the short termists bang on about fracking as if its a panacea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
