council tax

[malditako]

Yorkshire Water allows you to calculate how much metered water costs and see whether it's worth installing a meter (www.yorkshirewater.com), as may other water companies.
My metered water bill is £11 / month, gas and electric £52 with British Gas, and Council Tax £90 / month.
However, my lifestyle may not be appropriate for everyone. The central heating is set so that the temperature is always above 16 degrees day and night ( too cool for a filipina).
I'm also a member of a leisure centre and swimming pool, 5 minutes' walk away, costing £24 / month. A daily swim and shower there costs the equivalent of less than 60 pesos. Over the past two years I have never needed a shower or bath in my apartment !

heater is set as well till this spring though compare to last winter ( 24 hours on) we limit the hours now of usage.

hope u are well

Well, it was worth speaking to my water company, and giving them my latest meter reading, they are refunding to me £130 and have reduced my direct debit from £45 to £26

TBH, I haven't got round to sorting some of the less important things out after my divorce. I knew my usage would reduce, but thought I'd continue with the existing DD payments for my bills hoping I'd build up a bit of a surplus which I could put towards another trip east I should have a much larger windfall from my power supplier, but I'll leave that until I turn my heating off in May

I detest paying council tax,but paid mine off completely yesterday in a post office as I had the cash in my pocket and didnt have time to pop into the bank and arrange a DD,good thing is I dont have to think about it for a whole year.
