    £1200 a year for oil and £1000 a year for leccy. £2500 for council tax and £400 for water supply, and about £100 a time to empty the poo pit. The neighbour gets upset if it overflows.....

    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.

    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.

    £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.

    The council sold them all off to private landlords who rent them back to council for a profit. Landlords don't pour money into rental properties unless i makes financial sense....
