OP, just watch the meter`s rotating ring or barrel as its known. That will spin faster when more electric is being used. You can see it in action when you boil a kettle and it will spin very fast. Switch off all your appliances, fridge/freezer,computer monitors, tv and try and track down what is eating the £1 coin at great speed.
If all your appliances are off, and that rotating metal ring is still spinning then possibly someone else has tapped into the supply0 -
Time for some photos tracing the wiring from the meter to the consumer unit - and a view of the consumer unit circuits?0

Is your shower an instantaneous electric one or does it come off your hot water system. If the first a 10min 8kw shower is costing you about 25p
As above - do you have a hot water cylinder heated by an immersion heater. If so try switching it off.
Time for experimentsNever pay on an estimated bill0
