from £65pm. Blimey that's a hefty jump.

Our latest bill shows.... This quarter last year we used 0.39 but this year we used 2.42.
Now I know we had the heating on for much longer this spring, but this seems a huge jump.

4 bed detached house with only the heating & water using gas. Does this seem outrageous. Surely it shouldn't cost £1200 per year :eek:

    0.39 and 2.42 ?? of what?

    The reason your DD has jumped is almost certainly because your £65 was to little and you have now got a debit balance.

    So the £100 is made up of the sum to cover your consumption in the forthcoming year plus an element to pay off your debt

    Ahh I see. Thanks Cardew

    It is just a little bar chart with those figures on.

    Still seems an awful lot though. :(
