remember for your english GCSE one its allowed not aloud.
I had to cancel my tour booking as my 'leccy bill in my flat was sky high, and credit crunch for me at the moment.
Just a thought, but turning stuff off at night and when not in use helps a lot. Which is why I'm always turning off lights when I'm not in the room, putting the computer on standby when it's being abandoned for longer than 5 minutes when it's on, turning it off as soon as I've finished with it...I also turn my phone charger off the second it's finished (or as close to that as possible), same with every other charger I use. The TV et al gets turned off at the wall when it's not being used in preference to standby which still uses plenty of electricity. I even unplug stuff at night just in case!
Not that I'm having a go, just a couple of ideas I use to save electricity. As a result, our electricity bill (well, we have a meter) is much smaller than it could be. Of course, with soaring energy prices it's still very expensive (£15 or more a week) and is set to go ever higher thanks to the government's lack of intervention to deal with it.
