    Well done to everyone on here for your progress. I've managed to cut my electricity usage by a third by following tips on this thread and others. The real test will come with gas in the winter.

    Keep it up!
    I shot a vein in my neck and coughed up a Quaalude.

    How has my energy spend been calculated?
    Last week you spent:
    • £1.09 on gas
    • £3.36 on electricity
    Total you have spent on energy since starting imeasure (1 weeks ago):
    • £1.09 on gas
    • £3.36 on electricity
    My first lot of results. :beer:

    I know for a FACT from now on, those figures are going to go up.. but, blimey! I never expected them to be that low!

  • 'C' MSE carbon club 23 / 45

    Edit C/D I'm fluctuating at the moment.

    Last week you spent:

    * £0.77 on gas
    * £3.24 on electricity

    Total you have spent on energy since starting imeasure (9 weeks ago):

    * £7.76 on gas
    * £24.96 on electricity

    Since you started measuring your total household -
    Energy use is 430 kWh (Gas: 222kWh | Electricity: 208kWh)
    Carbon emissions are 154 Kg CO2 (Gas: 46 Kg CO2 | Electricity: 109 Kg CO2)


    Carbon emissions Kg CO2
    ...............Last week....Last Month
    Per person.....19 (21)(D)...18 (20)(D)*
    Per household..19 (55)(A)...18 (52)(A)

    Gas use as kWh
    ...............Last week....Last Month
    Per Person.....22 (41)(B)...33 (36)(D)
    Per Household..22 (104)(A)**33 (90)(A)

    Electricity use as kWh
    ...............Last week....Last Month
    Per Person.....27 (25)(E)...21 (23)(D)
    Per Household..27 (67)(B)...21 (64)(A)

    * Comes up as a 'C' so there must be a slight delay in calculating this one.
    ** oooh bum close to A+ ah well maybe next week:rolleyes:
