    on your meter is there any zeros before the figures you have given? for example are any of the numbers your given us in the red box or after decimal points?

    nope, no red digits or decimal points. nothing on there at all

    it will just say 1 16478
    4 2746
    t 19225

    and thats it :-/

    I NEVER have the heating switch on EVER as im way to scared to have it on lol everyones telling me storage heaters cost too much so when it gets cold on the evening, i just go to bed early rather than stay up and freeze :-(

    The only heat source on is my eco 7 heatin up my water :-)

    Right, im going home now, and im going to see what it says. Im going to see which one is turning and which one isnt. Ill be back in a few hours and show you my findings. I hope you are all right and they are the wrong way round :-) Ill be very very please. best news ive had in a few weeks lol ill catch you guys in a bit :-) Thanks again

    if the day and night are the wrong way round your bill should be around £85.00 which considering it was feb and the coldest winter we have had in years i would say this would be right, a direct debit of £50 would then also be about right as you will build up credit in the summer and use it up over the summer

    The OP said Economy 7 not Economy 9.

    I got the times from http://www.eonenergy.com/FAQ/Meters/Economy-7-Details.htm based on the Midlands region (the OP previously post a Birmingham postcode).

    Your post was misleading because it actually states:

    electricity is supplied at a cheaper rate for 7 hours between 11:30pm to 8:30am
