    Electricity: approx €250 per month now with the price increases ..

    Oil and solid fuel: Oil is about €1,000 to €1,500 annually now. Coal €400 annually. Timber is free as it's our own.

    TV: €10.99 netflix and €7.99 amazon prime. An extortionate €47 monthly for Sky while we wait to get a smart TV and saorview ..

    Broadband: €25 p/m

    Phone: €20 vodafone payg. I like the sound of the GOMO mobile .. must look in to that. Any tips? I'm rural so coverage can be awkward. I'm not a caller, mainly a whatsapper.

    I see the gomo is €14.99 p/m now. I'm guessing you all signed up to an earlier plan.

    Check out this offer from Virgin

    https://www.harveynorman.ie/virgin-sim-only-plan.html

    tenner for 12 months and then you can move elsewhere.

    48.ie are 12.99 (coverage would be the same as Three) but their roaming abroad isn't great.

    The view from over the water - 4 bed semi, 2 adults + 2 kids <7yrs

    Broadband/TV/Phone - Virgin Media @ £46pm (BB 300/30, TV bundle decent, has BT Sport, phone never once connected).

    Netflix top package from Turkey which is about £4 now after recent rise. Youtube Premium is from Argentina at a couple of quid.

    Gas/Electric - British Gas @ £200pm, currently over paying slightly even with the new mental pricing which is due to go up again in April!

    Mobiles - 2 * Samsung S21 FE on O2 @ ~£50pm (fairly unlimited, bundles so high that I've long forgotten the limits), work are giving out horrid phones so I've elected to pay for my own. . .and the darling wife's. I'd normally just go with Giffgaff @ £10 a month but had to move for the good deal on the phone.


    UK specific

    Council Tax @ 1998.36 for the year. Usually paid over 10 months so you can do the maths on that. I've paid it off early so I can forget about that until April.

    Water @ £15pm in, £15pm out - 2 different companies
