Switch to Npower...
Hi, I mentioned in another thread (which I accidently hijacked:o) how I'd started a switch to Npower via Quidco. Although there will be a small saving over my current Scottish Power fixed price tarriff, it's mainly being done for the £130 cashback. I know that Npower don't have a great reputation, and I wouldn't be…

freezer electricity usage question
Hope this is the right place to put this question? Does it cost more to run a freezer (or even a fridge) if it's half empty. I'm wondering if I should pack my freezer with, say, frozen milk/water & whilst it will use power to initially freeze it, it will use less power in the long run to just keep it frozen rather than…
