My electricity bill is equivalent to the GNP of a small country. So I am on an eco drive shouting at my children to switch of lights/appliances on standy etc. Last night I borrowed Carl"s gizmo (OWL) which is now attached to the main cable outside and it shows me all sorts of stuff ie KW hr - cost (you enter your rate) - temp of the room - co2 usage - etc etc -.
Although thinkng about it 4 tv"s (2 plasma 2 lcd) - air conditioning unit - numerous games boxs - 3 pc"s - 4 screens - two fridges - washing machine never off - might have something to do with it.
at the mo running at 1.2kw hr which is approx 12p per hr -- must get that down (and the rate I am paying looking at switching as we speak it was a lazy thing not to bother)
