Woman hasn't turned heating on since February and cuts electricity bill to just £10 a month

A woman says she has not turned her central heating on since February and has drastically cut her monthly energy bills.

Kerry Collinson, 51, slashed two-thirds off her gas bill and also halved her electricity bill. She says she now pays £10 a month after the £60 Government rebate.

Kerry, from Crewkerne, Somerset, only spends £1.20 a week cooking after swapping her induction hob for a camping stove, which you can buy at retailers such as Argos for as little as £30. Despite the cut backs, Kerry says her quality of life is just as good but she's "saving a fortune".
