kWh usage

Hello all- wonder if anyone can give me some advice on how much energy we should be using.

Just received annual gas and electricity summary;

since 15th Nov we've used 5490.67 kWh gas

and 1965 kWh elecricity

We're on prepayment meters, living in a two bed (top floor) flat with radiators. The flat is very cold so drying clothes on an airer is unsuccesful (they take so long to dry that they end up smelling damp) so we rely on our tumble dryer quite a bit, but i haven't had the heating on since last winter yet.

    You gas usage is very low (national average is like 20500) and I would say 1965kWh of electric for a 2 bed flat isnt exessive, especially if you use the tumble dryer a lot.
    Missing Tesco R&R since Feb '07 :A & now a "Tesco veteran" apparently! ;)
