My Energy use Diary

Started in June this year monitoring so have had one full quarters bill come through where we've been doing our stuff. Compared to last years figures we've reduced our gas by about a 1/4 and our electricity use has halved! I'm really pleased as we're going into winter in credit for the first time ever I think and also our DD has gone down to £14 a month from £40 for electric.

I'd like to get better with the gas use, but really our pilot light uses a fair bit on its own so I'm not sure how I'll do. My aim for the next quarter is to reduce both by a third from last years readings.

Good luck to everyone with their energy reducing!

Well done! :T

And good luck with this quarter, I think that's the one we'll all find that little bit more challenging.

Yesterday's washing dried well - even though it did seem to be cold.

Nearly dried, a few hours under shelter and it should be fine. The weather is supposed to be a bit milder for the next couple of days too. Damp but milder.

Last week you spent:

• £9.70 on gas

£5.28 on electricity

Last week you spent:

• £9.87 on gas

372kg over 15 weeks is just under 25kg/week...... by my reckoning that puts us very close on a per person basis

Mine says....
You have been taking readings for 7 weeks
Since you started measuring your total household - Carbon emissions are 404 Kg CO2
So mine averages just under 58kg/week for a 3 person household, or just over 19kg per person per week. But I would imagine a multi-person household is generally going to look better than a single person, as I only have to cook once for us, heat the water once, and though I may have a larger house I only have to heat the living areas once......
So your figure looks pretty reasonable to me, as I know I've been working hard to cut back on our usage !!!


(overnight my carbon club rating has changed from 49/60 to 17/61 -- wonder if this is still the glitch doing it's thing, or whether they're doing something to fix it )

Thanks CW,

I'm very happy with the results I am making huge savings compared to last year. I think the way I cook food is the one that can be changed though as I am not food portioning as much as I could be.

Well I'm back wearing the dunce's hat I'm now at 60/61 so hey there is someone worse than me!

Not too bad this week by my standards - 66kwh electric (down from 74 last week) and 592kwh gas (exactly the same as last week). Can't imagine that it'll go down much from this unless the weather gets a lot warmer.

Good luck to everyone else for 'good' reads!
