    Thanks Tanith

    Am going to speak to hubby tonight as we believe we have done everything we can to minimise the amount of electric we can apart from checking what cardew has said. I have had a funny feeling that something wasn't right and that we were not being excessive unnecessarily.

    Hi Poppycat

    I am going to speak to hubby tonight about checking how the water is heating as cardew does have a point about not using much gas for heating and cooking. I'm going to take each suggestion and tick them off one by one and as a last resort find out if there is actually a fault with the meter or something, although Powergen seemed less than helpful when we asked them for help.
