WELL DONE!! :j:T I think anyone who manages a double A should be suitably compensated by the Government by way of a Council Tax rebate or something similar!

I would have to agree with that.:)

Gas went down from 22 to 11kWh - yay! And electricity went down from 43 to 40 kWh. So that's a total of 51kWh and 23kg CO2.

Hello

Another week, another month, and not yet cold enough to have to switch on the storage heaters, yeah!

Last week's 'badges' show as C and E, so I'm guessing the extra 2 taks of hot water we needed makes all the difference. This week's figures are as follows:

Your household's total energy spend over the last 47 weeks is £806.77.
For week ending 1st November, 2009 your household spent £12.77 in total.
Electricity A Rate: £9.27
Electricity B Rate: £2.04
Electricity C Rate: £1.45
Standing charge: £1.61

This takes my weekly average over the 47 weeks to £18.77 including the standing charge. It's still better than the £100/month I'd budgetted and that's excellent! It means I can afford Christmas dinner, albeit by 'borrowing' cash from my electricity budget because the food budget doesn't look capable of stretching that far.

I got my first proper imeasure badges this week (very exciting!), both Cs so I'm pleased with that. We didn't have the heating on at all last week so low usage for last week, lower than our average over the summer.

Your household's total energy spend over the last 28 weeks is £333.36.
For week ending 1st November, 2009 your household spent £11.05 in total.
Gas: £5.33 - Electricity: £3.85 - Electricity B: £1.87

It sounds like the mild weather is coming to an end from what they were saying on the weather reports this morning. I wouldn't be surprised if we end up putting our heating back on this week.

Despite last weeks readings showing an extra 2.5kg CO2 per person in my house, we still managed to hang on to both of our 'C' badges - I'm well impressed with that :T

Still no heating yet and on double A as I'd only used 15 kWh last week. I suspect next week will be a little higher somehow.

How much have I spent? (£ per week)
Your household's total energy spend over the last 61 weeks is £630.35.
For week ending 1st November, 2009 your household spent £7.55 in total.
Gas meter (cubic metres): £2.51 - Main electricity meter: £5.04

Both badges are C but am very pleased as this time last year we spent £11.73 so have saved almost £5.00!

Double A a fiend for life - hooray, that's amazing!:T:T:T

I got a C badge against all users and a B against others with same no (1) occupants. I guess that's cos others are putting on their heating rather than any improvements I've made!

The heating is still off but I can feel it's a lot colder now than last week - still, I'll keep it turned off as long as I can.

This week's levels are similar to the week before last:
Gas: 22kWh (4 kg CO2)
Leccy: 41kWh (21kg CO2)
Total: 63kWh (25kg CO2)
