Our gas is £104 and electricity £167. 

 Taken from my last bill ...

Your estimated annual cost £884.77 a year for electricity £1470.32 a year for gas This is an estimate based on your expected annual energy usage, and your current tariff rates, charges and discounts, including VAT.

Avril, that seems exorbitant. 

Our monthly standing order is £35 per month, which will incease to just over £50 from November. That is for basically for the same appliances as you, but two freezers, and using a tumble dryer twice a week or so in the winter. 

However our hot water is gas heated, which could explain some of the differential, but it still seems a high figure. 

There are 4 of us wowzz so the shower, washer and cooking  is obviously double, and they do pay towards the bill. Your gas water heater will make a difference as mine is heated with the solid fuel. It's been about 15 years since I had a monthly bill as low as yours.  Do you have gas central heating?

You're paying £271 per month for gas and electricity?

Yes, but we get the £66 pm rebate. I seem to recall that the average is £2500pa.

Expensive.  I suppose air conditioning is not a regular feature in UK homes and the winters aren't as severe as here....

Our last electricity bill, September, was £136.

This latest one, but only 26 days, was £133 before the £66 discount.

After what I was expecting, I'll take it.

All the heating is gas. The electricity is a bit high. I am considering disabling the lift in the servants quarters.

Happy birthday. It's mine in a couple of days. Same day as our new King, but he is a year older. If he is at the same restaurant, he can buy the fizz.

Happy birthday in advance John.

Our standing charge for electricity is £12 pm. As your whole bill was only £35, you could do a consumer blog. Wowzz on leccy saving tips.🤣

Lovely day here in Rhodes today mid twenties and sunny, it’s a lovely town. We sail on to Crete overnight when we will have a full day on 4x4 trip exploring the island and sampling various delicacies (and feeding some goats)

Just seen that you had edited this one ---- tell Charlie thank you ---- must have been hard to write that one 🙂 

It’s amazing how he can type so well. Maybe he intended to say something entirely different.

I would think that your total gas and electricity versus my electricity and solid fuel costs would be much the same if either of us had the time or inclination to work out😁

However, as long as they are paid, I'm content.

I must admit that I don't get to excited about energy prices, but we are trying to cut down a bit on consumption.  21oC today, the heating can stay off.
