You have a REALLY good tariff! I wish I could get mine for 7p ish per unit, I'm 12.88p day times.

I do have a good tariff - I fixed in 2005 until April 2010. That's why I'm concerned about our use of gas and electricity because next year we are in for a big shock:eek:

Just received a bill for gas and electricity £115 for 78 days sounds ok ish. About £10 a week. It's actually slightly higher than it should be because the central heating was off for 5 weeks so I think it has added about £10 to my bill.

Last three whole bills since I started meter watching are a total of £347 for 292 days. Sounds ok.:D That means I've got an allowance of £53 till June the 8th to stay below the £400 mark.:eek:

Just entered this weeks readings, and despite having had a week with several days of really nice weather (so a few days with no additional heating) the gas useage is exactly the same as the previous week

But despite a lot less turning on of lights, my electricity has gone UP from 64kWh to 71kWh - which is the highest I've had since my elder DS left at the end of his Christmas leave in the middle of January :eek: He is home on leave again, but is spending most of his time (including nights) at a friends house -- have really only had an extra couple of days laptop use and about 8 hours of XBox, but to find they've negated any savings AND pushed us up by over 10% is devastating I have done an extra couple of washloads (due to him being home - but I have done extra the last couple of weeks, so this shouldn't really have had an impact), but a couple of loads have been dried outside instead of being tumbled as I got to it before he did once the washer finished (which actually means I'd have expected a drop compared to previous extras!)




I'm a 'C' rating yet again - 15th weeks in a row - and according to the Carbon Club graph I reckon we're 30/47

just popping by to say that I just saw The Age of Stupid, a docu-film about climate change fronted by Pete Postlethwaite. Very good. Can totally recommend it. See here for links on where to go and see it - http://www.ageofstupid.net/ukrelease

Anyway the recommendation is that we need to move to emitting no more than 1 ton of carbon each per year (1,000 kg) - went in to check my total emissions on imeasure and realised this is one feature that has disappeared in the revamp although I suspect I wouldn't have liked what i saw anyway.

Oh and flying was heavily implicated as well - feeling very guilty tonight

I can't find the i-measure site, it's just throwing up an error page this morning. So anyway, last week, my meter swallowed £23.65 and if I can keep to around the same average, this will be the first month since moving here that we've come in at under £100 for the month. I'm at £96.10 to date, so can't use more than £3.90 worth of electricity between today and tomorrow

It's up now - maybe they just settled their leccy bill by card.

This week I used:

Gas: 4 cubic metres
Electricity: 19 kwh

A carbon rating - 16kg total emitted.

Hope the imeasure upgrade is completed soon - it's pretty limited at the moment.

Slightly higher this week 6 units of gas 21 of electricity. CO2 - 22kg and surprisingly on a 'B' at the moment. Still a lot less than it has been. :j

:rotfl:

I tried to get into the site earlier, so thought I check on here to see if anyone else was having problems.

*trots off to try and enter readings*

Can someone please post a link to the i-measure site as I still can't find it. All I'm getting is the university site page. Thank you

Sorry, cancel that, found it at http://www.imeasure.org.uk/meters.php and I'm showing up as an 'E' rating
