Update
We use about 15kWh electricity per day, so whilst we pay 11p more per day standing charge, we save (by comparison) around 30p per day - swings/roundabouts…

As Scottish Power is utterly useless they still haven’t started billing us at the new build we moved into at the end of June. So I’m still taking photos of the meters at the end of every month and keeping running totals of our consumption. The big unknown is what it’s actually costing us; we have moved from a super-draughty old house to a super-efficient new one (insulation, LEDs, new appliances) so my gut feeling is that the improved energy performance of the house is going to offset the energy price rises.
Although we’re not with Shell I used your tariff details to get a ball-park figure for our running costs since the beginning of September. I’m aware this means I’ve counted one month at what should be lower rates but I’d rather over estimate than under.
Based on your data we’ve used £366 in gas (£400 including standing charge) and £395 electricity (£455 with standing charge) since the start of September. I’d be curious to see other posters actual billed amounts for the last 4 months for comparison, if anyone’s happy to share.
