That all sounds quite reasonable. There is 3 of us as well and I will be very happy if we can have bills in that range.

Hi,

This is what it costs me each week and we've got a 4x2 with a pool and ducted air con.

Gas -12.00
Electric -25.00
Water -14.00
Phone -25.00
Broadband-12.00
Foxtel -17.00
Contents & building insurance-17.00
Rates -25.00
Shopping -230.00 (2 adults and 1 toddler)
Car insurance-16.00 (new Mitsubishi Outlander and 2001 Nissan Navara truck)

Total per week-393.00

Of course we also have mortgage + whatever else we spend on ourselves/going out/daycare.

Hope this helps

Jo

OMG :scared: how old is she and where was she phoning? you should buy a couple of those internet phones that plug into a USB port on pc and use the internet service. You only initially pay for the phones then no bill, as its done through cable broadband etc..all parties using this service must have the same make of phone though.

Hi,

If you download Voip Cheap from the web you pay £5 initially and you can phone any UK landline for free from your PC. I think the £5 lasts a few months. Well worth it for you I would think!
