annual gas ?800
annual electricity ?900
annual water ?700 (frikken garden!)
annual internet/phone ?300

don't see the point in providing monthly totals as everything is season-related eg our gas is 100% for heating, so in a few weeks it's ready to go off and not come on again till october-november time.

All bills are calculated annually by the energyco's and divided over monthly repayments.

Once thing though, recently switched hot water over from gas to electricity in the form of a heat pump and before that, gas was ?1400/year (as it was running 365/24/7 to keep the tank hot) and electricity was ?600 - by paying ?1200 for the heat pump hot water tank (300 litres) which is 50% paid in tax credits by the state, we've saved ?500/year in energy costs - best frikken 'investment' I EVER made!
