stupidly cheap electric bill?
Comments

Yes £35 sounds much better than £24 which I too think is unrealistically low. £35 should just about do it assuming you also use very little....but just be prepared to pay £45 per month.
before buying the property I estimated bills to ensure I could cover the costs and my estimate was £100 for electric just to be safe.
I enter readings on the last day of every month (website was down on 31st July when I went to enter them) then calculate myself how much I've spent (sad but effective )
I am the only person in the flat and all my white goods are A rated if not better (excluding dishwasher as the lady left that for me)
it must just be that my tv etc are cheap to run?
I have a 300w panel heater which appears to be actually quite good
Also my flat gets direct sunlight in morning/ during day
My bedroom gets direct sunlight in afternoon/evening0 -

LED TV's are cheap to run. Much cheaper than CRT and LCD TV's.:footie:
Regular savers earn 6% interest (HSBC, First Direct, M&S)
Loans cost 2.9% per year (Nationwide) = FREE money.
