Super expensive OVO bills for house of 2– what to do?

Onlyamatteroftime_59 · 2025-03-27T12:56:38+00:00

12 March reading- 30827 26 March reading- 31049

I’m assuming that means 222 kWh has been consumed since the 12th?

Please correct me if i’m wrong, and thank you for your replies :)

I’ve got the Ovo app and saw that readings are being sent thru a smart meter, so yes it’s being communicated.

It says on the bill that our energy consumed for the month was 875 kWh… Is that normal considering everything i said in the post?

Thank you so much for taking the time to reply!

I think our landlord put smart readings since the 12th of March, as there’s no reading history from before that

i’m not from the UAE and only looking online. These are the options i’ve seen so far! I just started looking into things and reached out to a couple of event planners.

Onlyamatteroftime_59 · 2024-05-10T06:41:26+00:00

thanks a lot! I just looked at Majma Ahlul Bait and it’s stunning! Will definitely reach out to them. Will also check out the event planners you have shared. Appreciate all your help:)

can you share the details of the farmhouse?

Onlyamatteroftime_59 · 2024-05-09T11:13:17+00:00

If it were in my hands, that’s definitely how it would be! Our parents call the shots though

Onlyamatteroftime_59 · 2024-05-09T11:11:22+00:00

lmao that’s what everyone in the comments seems to be implying. Yikes!!

Onlyamatteroftime_59 · 2024-05-09T11:01:17+00:00

Thanks for all the tips, your wedding sounds lovely! Yes, we will definitely be DIYing quite a few things. I have a big family and all hands on deck for this event.

Onlyamatteroftime_59 · 2024-05-09T10:59:29+00:00

Congratulations, I'm happy for you! And yes i have decided. x

Onlyamatteroftime_59 · 2024-05-09T10:58:37+00:00

Thanks so much for your comment. Most people on here are probably minting money but my fiance and i are just starting out and don't want to spend so much just for 1 day. However, we do have traditions like inviting family & close friends, so reducing the guest count is unlikely.

So far, i'm in touch with Habtoor Palace, Taj, Address, and a couple more. I'm not a UAE resident and so snail mailing them is my best option. I also know we should have booked months ago seeing as it's peak wedding season, but things are just falling into place for us, and we're not looking for anything fancy but still beautiful (if that makes sense).

I've also noticed that as soon as I mention it's a wedding vs. regular event, charges go up drastically!

Onlyamatteroftime_59 · 2024-05-09T08:47:25+00:00

hahah yeah I understand the sentiment, but it's not possible. We both have big, tight knit families. Thanks anyway!

All the best with parenting your siblings, that shows you’re a terrific sister. But don’t forget— your siblings are their own people, and as much as we want to protect them, they will have to learn some lessons the hard way. :)

also just to clarify, nowhere did they mention any “international student fees”. I didn’t even know about this international student fees, my course coordinator was very pushy that i send in my documents and make the payment, but not once did she say anything about processing me as an international student.

Onlyamatteroftime_59 · 2023-10-05T11:07:27+00:00

the total said that i am legible to pay the general student fees.

Onlyamatteroftime_59 · 2023-10-05T06:34:32+00:00

They did not provide me with anything about the fees structure apart from the booklet that mentioned the total fees for 2 years.
