Hello I'm in norfolk too.. Norwich.

This is how much I pay out. I live alone in a two bed flat.


Council Tax -90£ band b
Electricity Inc. Heating 45£ p/m
Water -35£ p/m
TV License / Sky or YouView Virgin 32£p/m and tv 12£ ish p/m
Broadband Inc within Virgi
Mobile Phone £36
Insurance? Contents only 5£ P/m covers about 10k or so

I'm reasonably careful but not stupidly so. I only set the heating to about 18 so could cost more if you like it warm!!!

Think that's just over 250£!

Food wise- £40 is a good amount per week.

Rent is just over 600!

Useful to know Lee. What Virgin package do you have?

you will explore it yourself once you get to know all sorts of taxes and costs.

My Virgin deal is -

50mb broadband delivered by firbe optics (not everywhere can get this)

Phone line with free eve and weekend calls

Tv basic package.

I only wanted the broadband but that was £30 p/m for 12 months but there was an offer a week or so back for the above deal at 28£ for nine months and then it does go up to 38£ p/m for further nine months. I got a further discount so on average it's 32-33£ a month now. I don't actually care for the home phone and I'll see if I can remove this later. Seems a package gives you cheaper price.
