    Ouch spud.. good luck.. ours went up by £4 a month... :rolleyes:

    I've just been brave.

    Ours has gone up by £5 per month, not too bad.

    I've somehow got a credit on our account of £15. Not a clue how that happened :confused:

    I can cope with the monthly payments, but it's the overall total figure that makes me go a bit :eek: :eek: :eek:
