Kitty have you had a check that there are no leaks your side of the water meter? Unless you have a full house it should work out cheaper. It might be worth checking as when we were renting the meter was faulty ( registering £1000s lol) and had to be replaced. |

Kitty I still think it may be worth checking? my annual bill comes to about £236 ( that's the last year) . I know when we were in Wales the bill halved after we got the meter and Welsh water was one of the highest priced water companies. |

As Glitterbaby has pointed out, this isn't 'money in ones pocket'... it is a variable figure. |

Jax..............ours was £378 per year before the meter, it is a worry especially for a mum with a baby, they create mountains of washing don't they. |

Mr Micawber's maxim does not apply to government finances - the UK has not recorded a budget surplus in 400 years. Indeed the Bank of England was created in order to finance government debt without which the England would have gone bust. |
