[Bagpuss]

Hiya x

If you don't want to answer this i understand..just that i am sure my electricity bill is way too much....and if i new what others where paying it might just be right...dunno...but my bills just come for the quarter and its £184.74...3 bed semi..standard house...stanadrd everything....lol....what do you think...sound right or way to high...???...(i have rang them and they seem sure its right, but i ain't)

do you think the gel lamps use loads...?

thanks xx

The only thing i can say is there are only three of us and i pay £40.00 a month,i rang because i thought mine were too high,but they say they are not,if this is the case for five of you it sounds ok to me,hth a little x

 

[oey]

That is roughy the same as I pay.

The one that annoys me though is the gas bill - I am currently paying £78 per month when they only gas we have is the central heating!

Mine is about £44 per month, which I thought was a lot so I have now started enonomising by making sure lights are turned off, modem off when not in use TV etc not left on standby all the time but switched off when not in use....don't know if it will make any difference though lol!

Hi mate

I rang and asked the same question the other month !

I think across the board prices seem to have gone up.

Just try and be more aware of whats on and when and what uses loads like tumble driers /heaters etc eat up electric.

Was it a reading or estimated?

my lekki is about £30 a month, i use a sunbed and always use my tumble (not the line) i cant see how a gel lamp could use more than that...... I also have to kids running two xbox,s , two computors all day and the whole street looks like blackpool towers..... try speaking to your lekki company and ask them to do a check on the meter and dont take no for an answer.. we had the same problem in our old house, they recond we use £60 a month and thats crap... oopppsss sorry for language..

Have just gone on u-switch.com and they said i could save £364 per year by swapping!

However, I am not sure this is true because according to this web site my gas supplier in one of the cheapest available suppliers to it seams to me that something is not tallying up!

I have been paying £30.50 for the last twelve months and now British Gas (electric supplier) are saying I have been underpaying and I now need to pay £201 from this month as that is what they reckon I use.

I am in the process of looking at old leccy bills and then intend to ring them up and rant!!

That's exactly what happened to us, they made it look really appealing by saying we'll only put you on £25 for gas and £25 for leccy a month. we thought that's good until they hit you at the end of the year/quarter saying you owe £280 as your direct bebits we're too low. our electric is now £30 a month and our gas is £50. i'd rather pay more a month than get hit with a big bill at the end. x

If your electricity meter is inside the house, and it flashes like mine, you can see it flashing faster when you have more appliances on - its scary to watch!
We have changed all our lights to the energy saving ones, always turn off lights when we are not in the room and things like that. It does save a lot of money!
