If you want to measure how much energy you are using, can I recommend a simple webcalculator? It doesn't tell you which appliances are using the most energy, but it does give you immediate feedback on how you are doing, if you are trying to cut back, rather like weightwatchers for energy users. It's called Imeasure.org.uk
You take a weekly reading of your gas/electricity meters and enter the figures in. It tells you how much energy you have used and compares that with other households of a similar size.
(It's more accurate than looking at your bills, as some of those are estimated, so don't give you regular readings.)
There are other similar things out there, but we're finding this one quite good to use.
