we're on bottled gas - ours is higher than that each fortnight! it's horrible!
my mum was saying she pays 40 per fn on her gas bill - they have gas heating, cooking and hot water - and she is JUST in credit after each quarter, so i'm guessing she is using a bit over 220 per quarter...
ETA - your gas hot water is your killer there hun - it keeps the water hot all the time - so as soon as it cools a bit, it kicks in again and has to reheat the whole lot. takes a lot of gas over the period of a day to do that!
Nothing like a cuddle from DD after a hard day's work!

Ah damn!
We have never had gas before so i didnt expect it to be that much. I thought i would have saved with gas rather than electricity. Will need to save up for the solar heating one thats for sure.
We had gas hot water at our old house. Can you turn down the thermostat on the water heater a bit? It might decrease the usage a little bit if it doesn't have to heat it up to a higher temperature, and it won't cool down quite so fast.
