£200 a month for gas. £120 a month for electric. 4 bed detached, 1 bed annex with old person in, indoor heated swimming pool. I reckoned the pool took about £70-£80 per month to heat which looking at other people's figures seems about right.

DD is £160/month for gas and leccy. There's always someone in the (5 bed) house so heating and leccy is getting used all day long. Annual bill is about £2,000 for gas/electric.Comment

12 or so months Eon cocked up the last meter reading they did. I read the meeter and submitted a reading that was way below the reading tehy took 4 months earlier. So our DD dropped to about £80 from £160. Since then it has slowly been going up. It's now at £126 a month for gas and electricity. The balance of the account is £845!! I think they have used the incorrect reading taken about this time last year as their guide for what we 'usually' use in winter to be. I'm obviously hoping that it will be somewhat lower.Rule Number 1 - Assuming that you have a valid contract in place always try to get your poo onto your timesheet, provided that the timesheet is valid for your current contract and covers the period of time that you are billing for.
