I don't know if this has already been posted on here, or if they are available any cheaper elsewhere, but Lidl has these in stock from Monday.

These should show how much electric an appliance uses, it can also be programmed with the unit rate to calculate an actual amount of money.
May come in useful in proving to partners and children how expensive things are when they are left switched on. :beer:

If any of my experiences, or the knowledge that I have gained from those experiences, can help anyone who finds themselves in similar circumstances, then my experiences have not been in vain.
