    Okay, this weeks i-measure results are in-

    Last week you spent:
    • £4.38 on gas
    • £8.52 on electricity
    Total you have spent on energy since starting imeasure (5 weeks ago):
    • £18.65 on gas
    • £38.64 on electricity
    I am using approx 3-4 units of gas pw and about 75 kw of nuclear juice. I have installed a genie standby monitor to the tv, lets see if the diff is noticeable. Still not using the ch and the bubble wrap on the windows is making a huge diiference- roll on a cold snap, although wont be for the next 2 weeks as off to Miami on Monday. I'll be thinking of you all !

    p.s carbon club ranking is-
    MoneySaving Carbon Club 10/45
