    Even so, it's not those that are going to cause the problem it's the washing machine, tumble dryer, dishwasher - each take about 3kW when they're heating water, drying etc - several hundred times that of the iPad charger. And there's the 'fridge, freezer - which are on 24/7 - that plasma TV. What about the microwave - even that's 900 W when on - OK, not for long, I accept.

    I guess the point I was trying to make was that it makes sense to focus on the 'big ticket' items first of all - the iPad charger is 'in the noise'

    As soon as you have to pay and not your parents is when it gets expensive I remember being at Uni in England and the power bills were scary! I took it for granted that I could use my computer all the time and heat the flat until the first electricity and gas bills arrived! Winters are cold when you don't want to use the heating
