Wow....£225 a month! I'd say there was something else a miss there. We are on a key metre (which are notoriously expensive) and we put around £90 per month. We have 9 fish tanks, 9 snakes and 13 lizards, which all eat electric.

Does that £225 include heating or are you on gas as well?

As for loft insulation, try places like "The Range". Pretty cheap for everything

type free insulation in to google and loads come up as the government now give grants up to 75% towards loft insulation and cavity wall insulation! even if you earn loads of money!
or take a look at the b and q website they INSTALL loft insulation for under £200 also do cavity wall insulation for under £200 as well!

dont forget to look into changing your supplier aswell! that can save you loads! their are grants available from your council that no one will tell you about unless you ask, so it might be worth giving them a ring! (thats if your not entitled to the insulation discounts!) if all else fails bubble wrap is pretty cheap and should do the job (even if it doesn't look great!) let us know how it works out!
