    @cardew,

    It not just turning the TV off, we generally don't use electric that much. We use low watt lamps for lighting and we didn't really use the heating in the winter as its a brand new apartment with pretty good insulation and didn't get too cold even in the bad winter we had.

    It's not so much i have a fixation with the £20 a used to pay its more that i don't beleive im using as much electric as they say i am.
    But what about hot water? Surely you use that too?

    Which is easily resolved by comparing your bills to your meter readings...
    As I suggested some time, back, post your annual consumption on each tier.
    No free lunch, and no free laptop ;)
