Ashamedly, I've not been submitting my own until recently but how often should I do it? Weekly? Monthly?

    I don't think it matters so long as you're keeping up. If you get an underestimated bill and ignore it, it'll catch up with you. If you enter your own reading, you'll get accurate statements and your payments should be adjusted in line. If you don't enter a reading, it won't matter so long as you budget to pay the difference when the actual reading bill comes in.

    If you want to keep a grip on the amount you're using, entering monthly readings would do it. Weekly seems a bit excessive. Although I do weekly readings now and put them on a spreadsheet and imeasure, I only submit the readings once a month.
