Suggest you do some daily meter readings. For example:

- overnight
- daytime when you're out for twelve hours
- evening
- weekend daytime

I'm wondering if you are being billed for someone else's usage. Is the meter within your flat or in a communal area along with other meters?

It should be very easy to turn off the few things you say are normally left on 24/7, and to see if the meter is still turning. If it is, then something's wrong.

Nope the meters are contained in the flat. I've started taking readings at certain points throughout the day and i'll start unplugging some things on certain days and see how i get on..
Thanks

Just looked at my spreadsheet for my electricity usage from 13th Feb to today I have used 1402 units of electric (Living in an all electric house).

In the last 42 days I have used about 17 units a day, this is mainly as I switched the heating on a couple of weeks back.

Things I found take a surprisingly amount of electricity are the TV/Digibox setup. I used to leave them on standby but you'll be surprised how how you save by switching off at the wall
