Just wonder if anyone of us really study our monthly utilities bill especially the 2nd page where they show the Bar Graph for Past Consumption:

Electicity (kWh), Gas (kWh) and Water (Cu M).

And today I just realised that my monthly usage is always so much higher than the National average consumption for my house type. :(

sorry hor, I stop using air cond for quite sometimes liao, I have only two fish tanks with OHF (no more using those equipment like heaters and UV), and I only on the radio for my dog for just two days when he first came.

I can still the drop in my utilities bill. Used to be around $300, but now only half of it. But still higher than the national average :(

ya, ours almost the same scenario but I have two more adults than you, my sis-in-law and mother-in-law. And one extra dog :D

We do a lot of cooking, almost 3 meals per day.
