We obviously used less energy while we were away, but disappointingly not no energy. I think I turned everything off but still our background usage (the fridges and the router) come to about £2.30 per day. See the huge boost when we were fully back and doing washing and drying all day on the Saturday, up to £9.30.
Our energy use is still a lot lower than my friends. Ro who has a similar house and a family of four is double ours, and Dave who has a bigger older house and family of five and tropical pets that need keeping warm is four times. I think we're doing well.
Was also surprised how much mortgage one friend has left when he recently retired, glad we're not in that boat.
