avergae electric bills for 3 bedroom properties.

[misdee]

our electric bill has shot up. what are yours?

Ours is £40 a month.

gas and electric together is £70.

we are paying £65 a month for electric and gas together, but that is not covering the electric we owe them £150 for the last quarter on top of the £35 a month we pay by direct debit. And we have checked and we are on the best tariffs for us. What can you do? How much is yours misdee if you don't mind me asking?

£84 a month for both. About £60 is electric

ours was just £250! electric alone.

it has shot up since peter came home.

We pay £98 for both.

Is he plugged in all the time misdee?

yes all the time, plus his charger as well.

Do you get help with that? The bill I mean.

Steep

no, no help with that. i wasnt expecting it to be so high.

Oh god, that's awful. Can I hijack here and ask you a pram question...

go on

For a newborn... Silver Cross Sleepover or an Emmaljunga (Smart I think). Any experience of either?

emmaljunga smart is lovely. very bouncey and compatable with their toddler seats and pram boards.

Ours was £37 at our old house last year, it's only £50 for a 4 bed now.

ours is at about £50/60 a week, but we are all electric and only one of the radiators is nightstorage, so the other is on full blast all the time. It stupidly high so we are thinking about underfloor heating (no gas for central heating), which should pay for itself after a year or so I think. x

£50/60 a week? are you sure?

Ours is £170 per quarter with Powergen. We have low energy bulbs, don't keep things on standby, etc. We've just changed supplier to try and reduce this (and because we've had big problems with their so-called customer service).

we have low energy bulbs everywhere. before he came home it was about £170ish a quarter. unfortunatly peter is left on standby all the time lol

Thanks misdee, it does seem lovely and bouncy. I liked the Silver Cross fabrics better though!

Hijack over...

£30 a month
