    Dusty, what does that attach to? Only asking as when I did comparisons the site even said our usage was extremely high and to check figures :(

    Both of our clamp around the main wire which comes out of the meter. I know quite a lot of libraries loan out monitors now FofC so may be worth checking there.

    Electricity question:

    I have a little mystery for you all to help with. From our usage I can see that our usage goes up betwen 2-4 am and then again higher between 4-6 am dropping back to where it should be at 6am. What do you think could cause it?
    Nothing is on a timer switch
    No storage heaters

    Really confusing and short of getting up at 3am not sure how to work it out.

    Dog walked, turkey bought and coffee drunk.

    Should walk into town now I guess to top up last minute bits now paydays arrived.

    Hugs nicki. As for photo's my brother did that with the card he had our wedding photos on. He downloaded a programme and managed to recover them. Can find out what it was if you cant get them via your cable

    Dusty do you have heating on overnight that maybe kicks back in as although we have gas heating our boiler is connected to the leccy as well (I still cant work it why but then thats why I leave that sort of stuff to DH)

    Right I am away again
