Living in a city means the cost of going out etc is going to be higher. Ringing home costs a lot more! I travelled most of Spain in the year so that was a big expense. Spain is generally very much cheaper than England but the volume of things adds up.

For the telephone category, I am referring to mobile phones and the reason that was more than at home is because the plan was different...and more expensive.
