Today's the day that most families will be paying more to run their homes, thanks to the new energy prices which clicked in to place at midnight.
Although the Government stepped in to prevent householders having to pay Ofgem's eye-watering price cap of £3549 for average use from today, the new price guarantee of £2500 is still more than the £1971 we were paying yesterday, and a staggering £800 more than the average price cap of £1277 last October.
There are various cost of living payments which have either been paid or are to come, including the £400 energy rebate, which starts this month.
