RE: Do we all use more electricity ?

["Dean Barrett" <dean@xxxxxxxxx>]

Looks like i'm going to have to look at our usage a little more carefully.

I'd forgotten the tumble drier that is used most days - 18 month & 7
year
olds get through a lot of clothes.

I've used Uswitch and have changed to Scottish Hydro - saving should be
=A3350.00 per year on Electric & Gas - we shall see.

I'm looking forward to receiving nice clean electric made with water ;)

We are really poor at turning things off. On more than one occassion SWMBO
has been ironing in the Bedroom with LCD TV, Iron, and Kiosk PC, plus
bedside lights and centre light. Daughter is in her room, TV, DVD, Hifi and
probably PC on. I'm in Study 2 x PC, 1 x TFT, Plus CCTV switcher, Router,
Switch, 2 x UPS's, Printer. Then i look in Lounge where there is nobody,
Plasma, Amp, 2 x Table lamps, 6 x Downlights. No one in Kitchen but 6 x 20w
Capsule lamps on - 'cause it looks nice. Plus passage light comes on
everytime anyone walks in there, Hall light, 2 x 500w floods everytime the
Cats walk by - it just goes on and on and on...

OMG - Its no bl**dy wonder by bill is so high.

I shall need about 10 of the Wind Generators when they're available :(

>>I think you need to visit www.uswitch.com ;-)

=A335pm is pretty impressive Mal but I would suspect that even switching
suppliers Dean's not going to get close to that!  I suspect our main
culprit
is the tumble drier which unfortunately is on every day during the winter
for at least a couple of hours...
