074845.5
4 Adults, 3 children (although it was only 3 Adults in the house the first week)
72 guest nights this week, more than last week.
Oil central heating. Aga and electric cooking. Only used electric twice, for about 10 mins each when I needed Hot heat. Only used aga kettle, and aga for toast, instead of toaster. More vigalent turning down /off electric lights, and nothing on standby like normal.
Econ programme for dishwasher, and better filled so proberbly run a couple of times less too.
All washing machine programmes run one setting down than normal, with no great reduction in washing quality.
I have hung 8 loads of washing out, and only tumbled 4 loads of B&B towels.
Turned down the thermostat, and reduced on time of CH too.
The hardest thing to control here are the B&B guests and the people in the camping barn.
When I cleaned the rooms this week one day every single light had been left on in 3 rooms, with no one in, they had all gone out.
It is much the same in the camping barn, except they leave the cooker on too, with no food cooking

Final reading was 00139
Think that averages out to less than 10 units a day, but I'm a bit horrified to find that over half my daily usage can be accounted for by the fridge-freezer and chest freezer.
EDIT : was 00136 - found the piece of paper I'd written it on, realised I'd got 6 upside down.
Fridge-freezer now off.
EDIT : So the two weeks were pretty identical, which I would have expected. It is hard to see where I could save very much. Did one load of washing each week at 30C (normal temp I use), and a fair bit of homebrew-related boiling in each week (wk1 to start off, and wk2 to put into demijohns). These would not be weekly occurrences - more like fortnightly laundry and 3-4 weekly homebrew cycle.
It looks as though of the daily units, 5.25 were chest freezer and fridge freezer, so I'm only using 4.15 units a day for everything else (cooking, running CH pump, lights, computer, kettle, stereo).... I don't have things like TV, video, dishwasher, tumbledryer, answerphone, etc, etc
It's just me, at home most of the time. but it is in Scotland, and the weather was cold and/or foul. I could have put the CH off, and lived in the room with the main woodburner, I suppose...

an abismal 78097 (taken at the same time this morning, but not been online today). I wouldn't be in the least bit surprised if our usage had gone UP
