Best energy monitor??

I've got a monitor from eon which clips to my meter, but it's not working properly (either a faulty clip or interference from another monitor nearby apparently :mad:).

Text From British Gas
Hey Just had a text from British Gas, confirming the arrangement for an engineer to come round later this week and i should ring an 0800 number if it's no longer convenient.

Electricity bill of £165pm for a one bedroom flat?
My sister was round last week and was telling me that she pays £165pm for the electricity at her small, one bedroom flat. I couldn't believe it! That's too much, surely? I have a flat of around the same size and I only pay £65pm for gas and electric combined. What do you guys think? Has there been a mistake on her bill or…

Scottish Power Sales Reps in Crawley area
Just a heads up to people in the Crawley area that Scottish Power reps are out and about in the town. I had one guy claiming, after I had called him on his claim that he wasn't trying to sell me anything, that he had to do a 'mandatory tariff check' before he could leave. I sent him away with a flea in his ear, and also…

Heating a small flat
My son and his friend, both students, have recently rented a small flat which, for some strange reason, only has electric 'off peak' storage heating in the two bedrooms (I've bought them both hot water bottles and switched the heaters off!) The only heating provided in their tiny sitting room is an electric convector…

British Gas Pre-Payment Annual Statement
Have received our annual gas statement today. Very odd if you ask me it does not show you what amount you have paid over the last 12 months or itemises the top-ups you have made. The only figure it does give is the expected amount you will spend in the next 12 months. It does tell you how many units you have used over the…
