every february, my electric bill is double what the january bill was. just looked and february is 184 levs and my january bill was 99 levs.

the first year, our bulgarian neighbour told us that this month was 2 electric bills, which of course we did not believe and thought maybe some difficulties with the language. nope, he was quite correct.
so off we went to Eon for an explanation, wait for it...............................................................

"
it is always more at this time of year, because you cooked your christmas dinner."


I have tried over the years for someone to explain this without success. i know i have not used anymore electric, but that yearly double bill still arrives.

Is it something to do with the fact that Xmas and New Year comes into the meter reading date, and if so that would make it a 5-6 week month

I guess you are cooking the Christmas dinner for all the villages in your area than

My guess is, it is an estimated bill as they cannot get out in Dec/Jan due to weather and when the Feb one comes in the actual units have been calculated.

You could be right. Mine was read in Dec &
Jan and I have just got a bill for 6.09leva, so at least I know the electricity is working for the
security system and CCTV
By the way Oddy I notice that you still had an allocation of one more smiley :Very funny 2:but I couldn't use any more myself because you have stolen
my allocation as well
ATB

OOps!!!

Thank you very much Willow I sure know who my friends are not !!!! Now the boss will give me a good talking to and I was hoping my allocations would slip through :0(( no similes allowed for the rest of the day.

Am I right in saying that your January bill is for electricity used in December and the February bill is for electricity used in January
with snow about and very cold

Maybe a smaller turkey will have to suffice for next Christmas.

yes, nice one

Have you noticed any extension leads made made from speaker wire going to your neighbours from your house? The Speaker wire is a dead give away!!

we worked that one out the first year when my bills were ranging from a thousand levs to 400 levs, made a complaint and the next day eon arrived and removed the meter and gave us a new one. the bills mainly now are now usually under 100 levs, how strange.
