    I gave them the reading they asked for from bulb. I can't remember if they were just doing average for 2 bed house. 

    The gas in 5p a kW and 24p for electricity.

    So I am assuming it's just because of winter thays caused this high bill and should even out.

    It will even out  - just at a much bigger figure than you might have hoped for.
    Never pay on an estimated bill. Always read and understand your bill

    Taking that 3-year fix is looking like a pretty shrewd move, whether you intended to or not!
