I now do a quick look round to see taht everything that can be off is off. The TV uses 0.1W on standby so I'm happy for that to stay on as it would mean messing round behind it to turn teh plug off and those wireless switches use more than teh TV on standby!

Julie washing machine has a blue LED that is powerful enough to light up the whole of Accy( or it seems like it) so thats another that gets killed. We used to leave teh Sky box on all day and night but that is now in standby(Sky+ so we leave it on so it can record stuff) adn the TV transmitter and receiver for upstairs was left on ( now off unless we are actually watching something.) Its quite amazing how much stuff you do leave on untill you do a critical check of if it actually needs to be on.
