    3 people spend less than £30 a month in winter???

    I'm as frugal and tight fisted as much as the next person and can't get my electric lower than £90 a month! And that's with the cheapest tariff for my area, hell I even charge all my devices at work to save on the odd few pennies!

    We choose to pay £45 DD every month throughout the year, it means we pay off next winter before it happens. In October we were about £90ish in credit so that makes using our only heater less of a worry. We also live in one room together to save on usage.

    December bill was £20.73. Average about 3-4 kwh per day.

    Live on my own, at work all day, sometimes weekends as well. Have gas central heating, and a combi boiler for hot water.

    we live in a first floor flat which means we get heat from down stairs as well which means we don't have to spend much

    I don't think a simple poll like that can tell you anything, some people may be in 6bed detached houses and others in a tiny bedsit

    Some may be all electric, I am for one and this is obviously different to someone with gas or other heating.

    You aren't all electric, you use coal as well.
