I'm thinking about turning my electricity OFF over night

So last night before bed I took a meter reading and right now another

I've used 6 units of electricity over night (only me and Dh, pretty sure the dogs aren't boiling kettles over night)

That works out at £0.85 a night, £25.33 A MONTH Shock

The things that are running every night is fridge freezer, phone chargers, laptop chargers, the clock on the cooker

I've read it's fine to turn off the fridge freezer (no meat in it) as it won't spoil in 8 hours

I can't believe I would save £25 a month doing this !

Anything I've overlooked?

@LaurieFairyCake

You use less than 6KW per day ? Shock

How? That's way below the average - I don't even know how I can get it under the 13-20 I've been using...

You're right though, I have 2 choices:

  1. Always turn the electricity off overnight - that way that 6kw is not being used
  1. Get an electrician to come in
So what happened? @LaurieFairyCake

I was wondering too if any solution had been found,might be useful for the rest of us.
