    all bills
    wireless tinternet
    Sky tv
    telephone!

    My petrol is claimed back

    and i don't smoke!

    Will
    SShhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
  • Ah that explains it - mind you, just to play devils advocate - I would say that an element of your rent covers your gas and electricity - so not sure its entirely accurate is saying that you don't pay for any!!! Happy Tuesday!

  • Electric: £23.50
    Gas: £114 every 4 weeks (we live in a part of the country not on the National Grid so we have to use LPG)
    Ciggies: 0
    Petrol: £20 lasts 1-2 months as I walk to work
  • Electricity & gas are included in my rent, so no idea what they work out to.
    Petrol - £25 a month (usually considerably less but thats what I allow for)
    Smoking - £40 (I smoke roll-ups, and have a fairly regular supply of duty-free tobacco, so its not too bad)
    Highest Debt (Sept 04) -> £41,300 :(
    Debt Free - August 2006!! :D
