Why have I used so much electric?!

Okay so when I get paid I top up my prepayment electricity meter with British Gas. It will normally last me around 3 weeks before I need to top up again. But it has ran out within 13 days. I topped up yesterday and I have used over £6 in one day. The only thing that has changed is we got a new fridge freezer as our previous died on us the other day. They both have same energy rating A+. Surely its not the fridgefreezer using this much is it? Why would it use so much?
Any ideas?

You will have to look at the meter reading

How many kWh did you use, over how many days ?

And, at this time ic year, how many kWh per day do you normally use?

Have you got a tumble drier?

Have you got a hot water cylinder with an immersion heater?

Have you got an electric shower?

The usage of lights, phone chargers, TV and computers is insignificant.
