£950 bill from Thames
I've mentioned on here before - I've been trying to get Thames Water to set up an account for me since I moved in October 2010. As far as they were concerned, the house didn't exist.

Swimming Pool maintenance
Hey all! I had an inground swimming pool built by a St. Paul pool contractor a couple years ago and I'm wondering if there are any corners that can be cut (so to speak) with the maintenance expenses.

Southern Water - Unmetered Bill Rises by 25%
I've just had our annual 2013/14 water bill from Southern Water. We don't have a meter, and have lived in the same house for years. Last year I paid about £400. This year Southern Water are billing me for £500. That's a 25% increase!! This must surely be a mistake? Their website says unmetered bills are going up about 5%…

Boiler ON OR OFF?
This night sound really stupid, but is it cheaper to have my boiler on constantly, or have it heat up (timed)? I've always thought that it would be more expensive to heat the entire boiler from cold, rather than just keep it ticking over throughout the day. Brief run down: I'm in a 20 year old house, one adult and at home…
