Cheers Tom! Things are going better, I've been seeing a psych regularly, and am moving out next month. A little spooky, but it'll be nice to be like... A proper tenant with rights and all that fun stuff. The only downside is power companies are confusing, and I'll have bills

That's good to hear. There are told or there to help you compare prices because utilities are so ridiculous now, and there are no incentives to reward loyalty, so you can get the best deals by jumping around and changing company all the time

Yeah. At the moment I don't have much choice because I'm still under 18, apparently origin let me sign up with the assistance of an adult. They're exactly at the default offer, which I don't think is good because there were plenty of places that were under it. In any case, I've just got a little under 4 months to go, so that's like 1 and a bit bills

Once I turn 18, electricity, gas, and internet are probably all being changed every time I find somebody cheaper
