Energy price cap: 'It's hard but I won't be a burden to anybody'
Go to any pub, coffee shop or meet-up with friends and there's one topic you can expect to hear being discussed - the cost of living.
ดาวน์โหลด slotxo wallet Good opportunities often come with heartfelt preferences. If you feel like you're destined for one of the slot games, you'll be fine. It feels unspeakably special, so I'd recommend investing in the game right away. Because the power of preference is a positive force.
And as the new energy price cap is announced, people are fearful about what lies ahead as the colder weather approaches.
In Ipswich, some expensive-looking boats moored along the River Orwell on its historic waterfront conjure up an image of comfort and wealth, but like everywhere, some residents are far from comfortable and are bracing themselves for more financial pressures.
The BBC spoke to four people in the town to find out how the rise in bills will impact on them.
'I won't get into debt'
Five miles outside Ipswich in the village of Chattisham, a group of local residents meet every month at the Rural Coffee Caravan.
The touring caravan, run by a charity, provides social interaction for communities in Suffolk. Alongside the coffee and cake on offer, the staff and volunteers signpost people to various agencies and services if they need help.
Shirley Daniels, 82, a retired carer visits the caravan regularly to socialise with fellow villagers. She said she's fed up with the news and everyone talking about the cost of living.
"You don't want to hear it. It is hard for everybody."
'The heating isn't going on till the last minute'
Margaret Engle, 64, a supermarket cashier, said she will wait until the very last minute before she puts her heating back on.
"You just wait until you absolutely have to put it on and hope for the best. I leave it as long as possible before I put mine on. I have an open fire which does help," she said.
"It's not good. I struggle with bills and stuff like that, but you've just got to get on with it. I work full-time so I'm not too bad. I'm not saying I'm brilliant either, just get on with it. You've got to, you've got no choice."
