Bringing down my gas and leccy bill challenge (start August 2008)

Lily-Lu - from what we can work out, being part of the club means that you can compare your results against that group of people. You can belong to more than one club, so you can compare against different groups, but you don't have access to each other's information. This is still a beta site, and its changes regularly. I'm sure they'd be open to suggestions as to how to improve it.

Thanks Greenbee:)

How do I compare my results with the group of people though? I can't find any mention anywhere of the groups results.

Its on the results page, but you don't get this until you've done two weeks-worth of readings, as until they have the second lot, they can't work it out.

nice one Lauren

It looks to me that tesco clubcard pints are made on payments not actual energy usage?

If this is correct and I up my payments to £85-£100 then by the end of the year i will be in credit by a fair bit and have been earning points eventhough im not actually spending the money? Does that make sense?

Is anyone else with E.on, do they deduct CCpoints when you get the credit put back in to your bank?

I never noticed a negative on my CC points when I got a refund last year, then again I wasn't really looking.

Sorry that's not much help and doesn't really answer the question.

Fair enough, be aware that some of the GU10 spotlights take around 2 minutes to fully warm up. I have a 5 GU10 light in the kitchen, I have put 2 led bulbs which give light instantly but it's not bright enough, about 2 seconds later I have around 40% of light available and 2 minutes later its 100%

Mine are megaman and I never noticed any difference between there 7 and 11W bulbs.

We have now installed 4 of the megaman gu10's in the bathroom. Actually I really like the way they take a while to brighten up - good for when you need to visit the loo in the night

They do seem nearly as bright as the previous gu10's and heaps better than those stupid LED just about glow ones

Very pleased with them - apart from the price :eek:


Next on the list will be the dimmable candles bulbs....

Just had my first results thru http://www.i-measure.org

• £3.29 on gas
• £6.72 on electricity
• Club Rank MoneySaving Carbon Club 15/34

Didn't use the tumble dryer last week but will run it for 2 hours this week to see the difference. I have used the gas hob and electric cooker every day.
