However, I have managed to reduce my electricity consumption by a third. :j We usually use 15 kw per hr in this quarter and we have averaged 10 kw.

There is a new online tool to help measure energy consumption. http://www.imeasure.org.uk/

well done Setmefree - that's a great reduction.
Thanks for the link Krishna; I signed up, so we'll see how that goes; there isn't very much activity on the site yet.

I put the kill=a=watt on the yogurt maker yesterday and that came in at a credit crunching 0.007p

It;s on the breadmaker as I type.........

bread's cooked - go on, have a guess how much the electricity was. A large loaf that took 3 hours 20 in total to make.............

awwww - that's worse than the ending of Saturday's Dr Who:rotfl:

It was 0.6p
I'm really shocked at how low it is when you consider how much it would cost to put the oven on to bake a loaf.................

Wow - 6p that's sooooo cheap.:D Our bread maker makes the best bread. Sun dried tomatoe bread - gorgeous!

Hi setmefree; I actually meant 0.6p, as in, just over HALF a penny. Sorry if I didn't make that clear............

With energy prices going up at the rate they are, its worth submitting online meter readings regularly. That way you know you're paying the current price for what you use now, not next month's more expensive price! That way, as you get better at saving energy, you should just about be able to keep up with the price rises . If you use BG there's a useful little graph that shows your energy consumption over time, so you can admire the downward trend every time you look at your bill!
