Moving into new flat on Saturday - help with Budget?

sammiboo

Hi

When we moved house a month ago, we had run our foodstocks quite low. For the first few weeks we were spending about £50 a week on food but this has now lessened. For the past two weeks we have hardly bought any food, just the basics.

We are on a water meter and that is costing about £27 - i think this will be less after a few months as they are adjusting our rate - i think we currently owe them money hence why the water is a bit more.

Electric I am not sure yet - we havent had a bill

Dont forget to ask for stuff for christmas too for the house. I know its boring but its better to get something you need and save you paying for it

Thanks.

Well I've tried to budget for worse case sincaro so hopefully we'll be ok.

My grandma bought me a kettle, toaster and ironing board for xmas. I've still got my slow cooker etc etc from last time. So glad I didn't sell it all really, however tempting it was to try and pay stuff off!!

Hi i live in an 'older' one bed ground floor flat i pay £39 electricity per month, and find that i am cold, it's just dropped down from £44. My storage heaters are old ones and so i'm guessing they are quite ineffective. I also could have done with lessons on how to use them when i first moved in my first winter quarter cost me £240!
I pay £14 per month on water i'm on a meter and this covers sewage as well. I generaly don't use the bath, just the shower and have a slim line dishwasher, but only run that every other day or so.

Hope that helps, good luck with the move and living together
