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!!
Good stuff!
my last bill was $295...
just sayin ;)
Wow!!! Nice work!!! Im cringing at the thought of our bill coming in :(
:happydance: woo hoo! that is awsome! my last one was over 700 to (in my defence 200 was well overdue:redface:) so i get were ya comming from!!
imagine what the next will be like!
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...
Holy cow well done!!!!
Wish I could tolerate sweating my ring out... But I can't... Love my aircon far too much (yes, we live on the coast of queensland too, VERY humid)
well we are now without an aircon so i guess ours will be lower but we will have 2 fridges going and a dryer eeeeek our housemates like to use a dryer and we dont have an washing line which i am organising but it should be better than before
WTG clover nd co. thats a huge difference. well done :)
Well done :) CE I have to say has been surprisingly cheap. Our last one was about that much...
Hmm, mine is usually around $300 and I DO use my aircon on weekends and evenings if it is hot...no dryer though.
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.
:leap:
Our highest ever bill was just over $1300 - eeek :redface:
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
$180. I win. :D:
That's awesome though clover. Well done.
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?
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!
My average bill is $300-350... just, ya know, ... bragging as well LOL! And we use air-con sometimes too...
Congrats though, it is nice to get a little bill!
Way to go! It's always a great feeling when your bills are so much less then last time.
:happydance:
xox
Ha ha, don't forget thats with 2 adults, 4 kids, 2 fridges & a big hot water system that heats twice a day!
Now I know just how much my dryer used :redface: Haven't had air con for over 2 years.
I can also tell DH to suck my ...... next time he argues with me about leaving the TV on all night! I hate it with a passion!
(He doesn't know yet I recently set the timer on the new one to midnight ;))
I hate the humidity here & use the air con in the car. Add cloth nappies & rain at least 3 times a week during the warmer months & sometimes you have to use a dryer, but I've survived the past few months... JUST!!
I haven't had a bill under $600 in years. My highest was $1200 5 years ago when we tried to help some bludgers out. I'm actually still catching up from that on top of this $400.
Good to know I'm almost there though :D
JustMe - I'll have a look in the morning :)
