I'm fixed until November but hate to think what it will be by then, And as I am about to retire my income will be rather limited & I know I will be running partly on savings/redundancy pay until the State pension kicks in or I can find a side gig.

EDF are actually offering 2 year fixes, where the unit rate for gas is cheaper than Standard Variable. So maybe have a look for that kind of thing.
