    Thumbs up Power bill brag!

    Some people may not understand, but trust me, for us, this is brag worthy!

    Our latest CE bill is




    $407!!




    Our last one was $798!

    Just goes to show how much sweating your ringer out with no air con & hanging clothes on clothes horses under your verandah is worth the effort!!

    Coastal weather makes it sticky & rainy alll the time, so air con & dryers are soooo needed, but damn I'm proud of that!

    Haven't had one that low since DD2 was a baby!!

    congratulations!!!
    We have no air con so hoping our bills will be small here!

    In wagga our power and gas bills were $900+ between me and my DH, that's it. Wagga prices were ridiculous, and it was 45 degrees for like 3 weeks...

    Nice work Clover - we've been a bit more energy savvy for the last few bills too, but I am still envious of your $407.


    Our highest ever bill was just over $1300 - eeek
    It was DS's first summer (6 months old) and I was home all the time on mat leave - I nearly died when I opened the envelope!! Needed a payment extension for that one!!! Lately we are around the $600 mark, not too bad considering we still use our air con a fair bit

    Well done! We also had a little "power bill victory" here. Our last one was a whopping $1100 and this one has come in at $680. Very happy with that!

    That's awesome Clover!!!

    We got ours last week and it was $835. We checked it against our usage at this time last year and we did use less this year than last year though our bill has gone up by $150. Damn electricity rate rises.

    Can I ask, how much do you pay per kW of electricity?
