    £42 per month atm, altho we're over paying a little. Missus and me both work altho i do shifts so sometimes comp and/or ps3 is on quite a bit during the day. Same setup as you, gas heating gas hob and electric oven.
    £100 seems a lot to me but a lot of peeps at work say theres is more than £100 per month, altho they do have kids tho.
    If nature always takes the easiest route, what's easier...?
    The creation of billions of galaxies each containing trillions of stars each with their own solar systems, some with planets that have evolved civilisations with billions of different life forms. OR The creation of just your imagination?

    We live in a 3 bed semi and we have loads of lecky stuff. We have lights on all night so the kids can find the loo. I pay 40 quid but they did want to put it up to 100 quid. They like to over estimate your monthly payments so that you are always in credit. Fcuk them, Money better in my account not theirs. I don't see why they should earn interest on my money when I havent used their lecky yet.
    I would ring them up thou and make sure it is right.
    Or move suppliers

    £40 a month. Electric cooker & hob, micro,

    fridge, freezer, ps3, xbox, sky box, router and 2x laptop power supplies on permanant.

    Anything that heats stuff up/cools stuff down rapes the leccy meter.

    Also that power supplies of the sort that you get on a router/laptop will use power even if they's not plugged into their said router/laptop. Always woth switching these off at night (even though I always forget...)

    I pay 65 a month but I run a lot of stuff and only allow them to use electricity to heat the slaves quarters as the stupid cunts cannot be trusted with gas.
