Costs of Equipment

in Energy
I have done a spreadsheet for the costs of running items in the home, and putting them on stanby.
My new rule of thumb is, whatever the watts, that will be £1 per year if constantly left on. No of Watts x £1 per year.
50" Plasma 300watts =£300 per year!
Sorry the formatting doesn't work, can any Mods help in that? I lost the will to live changing it!
I sorted by cost per year, to target the biggest energy guzzlers.
There are some gaps, because my equipment didn't say or I've not got the manual.
Can anyone hlep fill the gaps?
