Thanks bluewire:) Not signed up for anything yet as fitter said we'd get a phonecall. Will chase it though if we don't as derfinately want to monitor it for the costing. Have already checked it to make sure it's not whizzing around as being the pessimist I often am I thought I bet we've got a leak somewhere we don't know about:o

Plan on using the water as we normally would for the first month to get a full idea as well.

Always be careful for leaks, Department i work in is all around meters and when customers have high reads, You'd be suprised how many people i have who have just had a small leak on their toilet and thought nothing of it, and there bill is an extra £200!

Thanks Deano:)

Letter has just arrived telling me they're coming to do the survey on the 8th May. Gold old RM.

Hope my water saver pack comes through soon as well. Discovered the loo uses 9 litres per flush so going to see if I can find a brick to wrap and put in loo.

We don't seem to have any room in our cistern to either get half a brick in or a big bottle. Ball !!!! seems to be in the way. Any ideas if we can disconnect this to lift it up:o Don't want to break it.

Well, ball !!!! mechanism looks like it will disintegrate if we try and fiddle with it. So far got one 1/2 litre bottle in and am going to try another one today. Had to go out and buy a fizzy drink so we'd have a bottle!

Haha! Did you ask for the shower attachment aswell?

That saves a bit provided you dont have a power shower

I did but as the meter was fitted so quickly nothings arrived as yet.

Still haven't got the water saving kit!!

However, calculated costs yesterday for the month of usage and including the three standing charges it works out at a saving of nearly £24 for this month.
