I've had a bill for £700 for 7 months worth, seems a bit steep

No gas though, so it may be right.

We're about even on gas and electric at £40 a month each, so it's probably not too far off tbf

Same, electric and gas DD set up for £40 each. I'd say yours is a bit expensive but depends how much you have the heating on I guess.

Having said that we have lots of electric stuff!
But we use energy saving stuff to the max, light bulbs, plug socket things!

What, those power wizard 'energy smoothing' things?

Pointless, they don't do anything.

At the back of the tv everything is plugged it to something that you control by turning the tv on. So when it's off nothing is on standby

I thought the whole standby thing was supposed to waste electric?

Got the same thing for mac setup

Oh right no, thats something different. Yeah, they will help reduce consumption.

I'm thinking of this - http://www.amazon.co.uk/Ecotek-EWIZ-Energy-Wizard/dp/B003JI9EDY - which cost about 4 times more than they save.

Didnt the gadget show proove that turning off at the plug rather than leaving on standby saves around 10p a year?

We use £25pm electricity and £40pm gas.

My leccy has gone up to £58 per month! (from £40)

tbh, i'm hardly ever there, i have an oil heater which is on for 6 hours a day (just so the place doesnt get stone cold), and a server on 24/7 (which i access daily over the tinternet)

Apart from that (and my fridge/freezer of course), nothing else uses electricity in my place.

£60 Electricity and £40 Gas.

I don't really cook so gas is only used for heating. Electricity is eaten up with shower, server and lights mainly.

My Direct Debit went up from £27 to £34 a month recently. I've never turned the heating on and I've got no gas.

£50 for electric and £60 for gas each month - 2 of us (plus two greyhounds) living in a 3 bed semi detatched house.

Our electric energy usage thing says we use ~ £2/day on electric, and I've noticed the thing that uses the most electric is the shower.

Our gas usage is high because we have a shitty 30-odd year old boiler with an equally old cooker - both of which our landlord refuses to replace.

Can't wait to have our own house!
