    Around 26-28kWh each day since the cold snap kicked in. Was just 12kWh on Monday.

    Treasure the moments that you have. Savour them for as long as you can for they will never come back again.

    Zero excluding standing charge, my meter has worked for three days since April, supplier won't accept there is an issue, I have made contact five times, they just say you are a low user.  I am squirrelling money away for when they eventually take action, I have no idea how much I am using which is a bit scary.

    i think/know we are high users but don't really know why. we keep the house warm and the water is heated for 2 separate one hour slots each day.
    i read on here over and over how little some folk use and wonder if you are equally warm.

    here goes....11th - 20th Nov (10 days). 748kWh, 318 of that in last 3 days.

    is there a specific thread to join a chat about usage?

    4 bed detatched. Rear extenstion kitchen / diner with wet underfloor heating, rest of the house on radiators. Set to a constant 18-19 degrees.

    I've been averaging about 80kwh during the last week or so, but 140-150kwh over the last 2 days cold snap.

    Works out about £7.50- £8.00 per day. on a British Gas Fixed Tarrif 12month V8, 5.45p per kwh. :/

    Over five POUNDS per kWh :o:o:o
    I think you mean 5.45p/kWh :)
