how people divide the utility bill during holiday?

how people divide the utility bill during holiday?
Hi, I live a flat with 3 girls (including me, 4 girls) and one girl has been to her country during holiday for a month. Actually, also I wasn't in flat 3 weeks then. Now, we got the utility bill and we have to pay for it. I supposed that the bill should be divided just exactly by 4, but the girl who got back to her country insist she doesn't want to pay for a month. Even we weren't in flat, I think we have to pay for it. I wasn't in flat 3 weeks during the same tern with her, but I feel need to pay because we share the flat and utility is quite uncountable how much we use. (the other 2 girls also sometimes in flat, sometimes not in flat during same term.) What do you think everyone? Do you think her opinion is reasonable? I'd like to solve this problem happily for all. info, we are all students in UK and come from Hongkong, Korean, Greece, and Japan(me). Greece girl got back to her country during holiday.

well i think you should all chip in and pay your shares.. if it was a 200 dollar bill everyone pay 50 what ever it is you all pay a share of it.. you all wanted too share the flat in the beginning and im sure you all agreed on what you were gonna pay... even if no one was there its still a 4 way split that's how i think anyway.....if i left my moms house for a week and i pay her 75 dollars every week i would still give her the 75 dollars even if i wasn't there.. because we made that agreement im staying there ..if i had my own apartment and i left for 2 weeks i would still have to pay the electric company.. and my whole rent what i owe them just because its my bill....
