Hi

Following seperation I am moving out of the family home into a 2 bed flat with my son, I know what we have been paying for gas & elec in the house but have no idea how to predict what my bills might be in the new circumstances. Is there any kind of calculator I can use or do I literally just pluck a figure out of thin air & hope for the best?
Any advice apprecieated!
Many thanks
Lillibet;)

    If you have gas, together with electric....£1000 to a high of £1200.
    If you are moderately careful and the flat is well insulated, £800/900.
    If you are frugal £600/£800.
    Most use will be early am and evening/weekend.
    Most comparison sites allow you to input data to arrive at a ballpark figure.
