Small steps lead to big changes...

I'm pretty sure you can change to a meter and try it out for a year and then change your mind if you are worse off. Call the water co and ask V x

£89 a month for water 😱 How can that be justified! We use a fair bit of water which is why we don’t have a meter but we only pay £45 a month.

Soggy sandwiches ... No, but I don't wrap them/box them, just eat ASAP.

Thank you, yes I think it's two years so I will definitely give it a go.

It's ridiculous isn't it.  I think we're in one of the more expensive water company areas, but even they say the average bill is more like £45- £50.

Thank you.  I might give it a go.

It's horrendous isn't it.  DH has always been reluctant to switch, as he washes his cars at home.  However, he doesn't do that very often so it's hardly a big deal.  I've always wanted to switch but been a bit nervous about the condition of our plumbing.  However, we could probably cover repair bills now, so it's time to give it a go!

Mr LH wont change to meter as we have a pond in the garden which nneeds cleaning at least once a year plus top ups when its hot and therefore uses a lot of water but I m not so sure as otherwise we are pretty low users. I cant find out how much our company charges for metered so we can do the maths.

After yesterday's lazy day I'm on a mission today.  I've got a joint in the oven and prepped all the veg for a Sunday lunch.

Wrapped a gift for a relative which I'll drop off later, and packed an ebay parcel for posting.  There's a load of listings prepped so I'll try and get some on later.

This morning I am getting back to the painting.  I'll spend a couple of hours doing that and hopefully make some progress!  It would be nice just to get these rooms done once and for all!

I used the calculator on my water company's website to estimate as well as a couple of national ones.  I could find a link to the charges when I viewed my bill online.

Hi Jwil, name the company and I am sure you will find other readers who can tell you what they pay? I'm in Bournemouth, so possibly not close enough? V x
