    Great advice in this thread.

    I work from home in a modern 2-bed flat, single occupancy, electricity only. As far as I can tell, I was charged about £750 in electricity in the last year, although my fixed tariff is significantly cheaper than the current market rate. It's about 22p per kWh, so I guess I must have used about 3400 kWh last year? When the fix ends, I anticipate paying about £100 a month.

    Energy-saving tips for colder times: electric blanket for your bed, heated throw for the couch and/or home office chair, a few regular throws and blankets to layer on top if needed, plus house slippers and a warm jumper. If you don't have an in-home display that reads your electricity meter, get the Bright app to monitor your usage. Check your electricity account regularly to ensure accurate meter readings are being taken - relying on estimated readings can build up massive debts.
    Great first post! Many thanks for the info and tips :)
