I've got that to look forward to at the end of this month. I've been on a fixed deal for my electricity and gas for a couple of years and only pay £58 a month. Unfortunately the fixed deal ends on 31 May and I've worked out from my usage that my direct debit is going to at least double, probably to about the same as yours in fact. Thankfully I have some credit on my account which will help cushion the blow a little bit.
