nadsat said:Octopus has just sent an estimated bill before I've had a chance to submit readings. The estimate is higher for both fuels than the actual readings I've just taken. Am I OK to just let it ride and submit readings later when they go past the estimate? Or is this fraud?

A reading towards the end of this month will allow you to use your spin on the wheel of fortune, get another bill after ~1 month and give enough time to even consumption out such that it would be indistinguishable from normal seasonal changes in consumption.
