Moment of truth time This is for final meter readings only - BUT - could you also add what type of power you use for cooking, water heating and central heating. For example:- Cooking - electric, water heating - gas, central heating - gas. Should help us all to understand the figures a little better. Thanks

78345 Cooking - electric, Water - Electric, Central Heating - Oil (when we have any ) Did all the cooking in one batch on the first Sunday, kept baths to a minimum (everyone shared water ) used minimal lights, TV etc. But it was mimimising the use of hot water and cooking that had the biggest impact.

No change in mine - but pleased nevertheless as very expensive son came home this week - so we must have made savings elsewhere.
