| I think we have a direct debit of £50 for both electricity &gas. so £25 each. I'm really tight with my heating though Water I think we pay about £25, it's a meter, but it's split between two companies so bit complicated.

| Our combined gas and electric is £68 a month on direct debit (that's for a 4 bed house). We pay a set charge per month that we vary up and down if we get into big credits or debits.
Water is £28 a month for 3 on a meter with 3 of us living here. |

| I'm on a gas and electric meter too and we spend on average £10 a week on electric and £20 a week on gas (less in summer but more in winter so this is our average over a year) and every month a man comes round for £30 for the water bill (which is nice because it means we don't get stung with a bill every year for the water or every quarter in the case of the gas and electricity)
Our heating and hot water is gas and we use an electric cooker, so if you use a gas cooker you might have to account for a little bit more on the gas and a little bit less on the electric xxxxxx
*forgot to add:- we are in a 1st floor 2 bed maisonette* |

| Our electric is about 55 a month direct debit. Our heating is oil though we are thinking of getting gas instead so we can budget monthly for it. We don't pay for water here yet thankfully |

| We have a gas meter so on average in the winter spend £20 a week In the summer around £5-10 a week. Electricity is around £110 a quarter so say £35-40 a month. Not really sure about water as we are in a council flat.
Adding that up at worse (during winter) we spend £120 a month. |
