shocking electric bill

Today we went to check our weekly updated electric bill, and we were super shock when we saw it was 150 pounds! (Since 21 sept???). 

Its freaking both of us up as we're super power saving, didn't even dare to on the lights during day time and make an effort to off all switches whenever we're not using them.. We didn't even on heater at all and just wear like dumpling at home to keep ourselves warm! And water heater are also said to be included in the rent, so it can't be cause by us bathing everyday with hot water right?!

Hubby went to the electric circuit to check it out, and he found out that there's this 2 hidden floor heater and 1 towel hanging rack heater which were on since day 1 and we didn't even use it at all.. the moment we found out, we quickly off all the freaking hidden heaters! =.=

For the first 3 days, we're hardly home and we only started using freezer and refrigerator on the 3rd or 4th day here! For only few days the electric bill can shoot up to 150 pounds, which is the amount we heard being the average monthly electric bill for household in UK?! Omg I can't believe it..

I'm pretty sure it was the stupid hidden heaters that are causing us so much money.. 

Now we're finding out whether those are the cause of such high electric bills for this 1 week plus.. hopefully it is! Else we will be mad crazy dealing with this kind of siao high electric bills every month! (if 150 pounds is for 1 week, 1 month will cause around 600pounds!) WHAT!! 1200 SGD MONTHLY ON ELECTRIC BILLS?! Our rent is only 640pounds per month, and electric itself cost almost the same as our rent?! 有没有搞错?! 

KILL ME PLEASE. 

I'm super paranoid now, off all switches and really angry at how the college make us pay for stupid heaters which we didn't even use or know in the first place! 

Hubby have sent a email to them to find out what is the main cause of our electric bill.. what a huge damages!

WAITING FOR THEIR REPLY NOW..

UPDATE:

So ended up it was a mistake, our bill wasn't 150pounds (that was the weekly rental cost instead of electrical cost), and the meter reading the college also got it wrong~ (doesn't tally with our meter at home! LOUSY MAX) 

They're now in the mid of investigation, they will inform the accurate meter reading to us soon, and it should cost NOT more than 30pounds (already on the high side), we're super power savings and we deserve cheap bill okay! :D

Rest assured..~ 

Hubby is planning on our trip to Tesco extra this weekend (I love big supermaket) ! Over here really not as convenient as Singapore, you don't get to travel to lotsa places in a day cos the whole city is damn huge.. Nevertheless, I love the weather here and the many beautiful things and lovely people I see everyday.. :)
