Gas/electric bills - £170 in total for 22 days. Is this reasonable?

[Ewemoo]

Our combined gas and electric bill is £170 for the last 22 days. To put this in context, we have premature twins who are 5 weeks old and so have to have the heating on all night (the thermostat is set to 18 degrees). In the day I just have the gas fire on in the lounge until 7pm when the heating goes back on till 7am. We have a 4 bedroom house and use gas for cooking and a gas fire and central heating. Is this a reasonable amount to expect to pay?

unfortunately if this is for your gas and elec its probably about right. my gas bill for the quarter was about £450 electic around £200, for a 3 bed house.

I'm sorry to say that we have our CH on for less hours and our gas bill was just over £500 for the last quarter for a 4 bed house albeit at 20 degrees! Let's just say that I'm making the children wear layers & thermals more. We've decided to grit our teeth & bear the much higher energy bills and make savings elsewhere instead. Looks like we're all in the same boat this winter.

We got a horrendous electric bill yesterday saying we were £703 in debit. Rang the company and we worked out that it was right and that it was just that the £50 a month that we pay dd just isn;t enough. Wouldn't be so fussed but we live in a house with NO central heating, dont have a tumble dryer or dish washer and are usually freezing our arses off. Have two crappy storage heaters upstairs and looks like they are costing a fortune. I HATE RENTED ACCOMMODATION sometimes. So dd has to go up to something ridiculous like £150 a month.
