can you be more specific? Do you mean mortgage and bill payments etc or petrol, shopping and entertainment costs. If you let me know I am willing to tell you what my costs are from Yorkshire.

hi tigwig, i mean just in general spending on food, drinks,petrol,s hopping , house bills including gas, electricity,water etc. i know everyone's mortgage can be big different, so not including mortgage.

[tigwig]

my average main shop is �80 weekly then I stock up again for around �20
diesel for our car is a rip off �1.20 per litre, council tax �120 monthly band 4, water �28, gas �20, electric �25
Can I ask why you want to know?

[tigwig]

forgot to add on drinks (the most important) if out a large glass of wine costs around �3 to �5 depending on the place you are!

Average council tax is �100pm

Average gas 35pm
elec 35pm

water is 25pm ( for 2) ( 18 for 1)

Hope this helps
