    If you going away for that length of time it's probably good practice to turn off all unnecessary electrical circuits on the fuse box (plug circuits other than the one for the fridge, internal lights etc).

    If you turn of the circuits it won't actually matter about the plug as no current will be running in the circuit.

    Yes, I agree, you should switch off your computer atleast. The only reason I don't like switching it off is when I come back, I always forget to switch the router on and get annoyed because my laptop won't connect to the internet lol :)

    Wow, this thread is almost a year old.

    I think the OP has probably already gone away and came back again.
