Costs of Things Using Electricity

I wondered if anyone had an up to date idea of how much things cost to run?

I used to have a great list (can't remember where I got it from now though - d'oh) which outlined approximately how much it cost to run things for an hour or per use i.e. tv for an hour or a washing machine per load, a kettle per boil etc etc etc.

With the recent hikes it's all out of date anyway (I got it about two and half years ago!) so........anyone got any more up to date information?

I will have a scout about online as well and will post back anything I find. I really want to keep a focus on exactly how much "living" in my house is costing me and I can then quote figures to BF when he leaves the lights on :mad: ;)

    Found this! You select the items from the drop down box and amend any details that you need to i.e. wattage or voltage, amount of time used etc.

    Could be an eye opener.....
