ours is about £50 for the 2 of us, but that includes cooking, heating and electric shower twice a day (sometimes more). I guess factoring in 4 people, you're about right there, assuming you're gas cooking and heating

My leccy is £67ish a quarter (I pay £20 a month DD so almost always in credit) and my water is £65ish every 6months.

I know I live on my own... but Rob is there quite a lot.

Jesus Christ, I can't believe your water bill is that much. Ours is £120 per year. Why does it vary so much? It's not as if your house is that much bigger than ours.

We is in Essex init

Two of us get through about £160 per year on the water meter. We don't conserve water and both have a shower each day.

I'll eat my words now because I've just looked at my bill and we are actually on a meter

I had NO idea! We are paying between £150 and £190 per half year right now so I guess being on a meter is fine for us. I can't see how you would use as much as us so it would surely be better for you to be on one?

I'm still shocked lol.

Haha, Jodie you doughnut.

So, looking at your figures again, with just us two it should work out better. As you say, you're running the kids on those figures too so even when we have them, we should still be no worse off than we are now.

Lol I know

Yeah I think you'd be better off for now on a meter and as you say, won't be any worse until you have more than 3 kids at least

yup, right round the corner

Storage heater here - always turned off becuase it just costs money to have a little LED on the front, it's never warm. other than that, exactly the same usage as you.

I'm with EDF too, I guess that's why I pay more.

Sorry I'm being thick mine is £67 per quarter

for the water. It would be a damn sight less if we didnt have to split the bill between our block.

I got confused :/
