How's it going, AKA, Nutwatch? - 12 month spends to date = 2.60% of current retirement "pot" (as at end May 2025)0

Interesting thread this about high and low usage patterns.
Last Thursday my old kitchen was ripped out and am presently without an electric oven (single to be replaced), a ceramic electric hob (to be replaced by an induction hob) and unable to use either wasing machine or heat hump tumble dryer. Present cooking devices are a small slow cooker, an electric air fryer and an electric pressure cooker. The average electricity usage has been 5.80 kWh/day (all house heating and hot water provided this year and last via Gas CH combi boiler). The October days leading up to the kitchen rip out averaged 8.08kWh/day electricity and similar to same that have posted already. Last year in a different house (3-bed semi v present bungalow) my October average was 10.77kWh/day BUT this house had an electric shower otherwise the same appliances with the exception of a new heat pump tumble dryer. I suspect that October 2020 was colder than October 2021 and have only needed to 'finish off' drying in the new heat pump tumble dryer.0
