Default Energy saving update

So just to blow my own trumpet I thought I would give you an update on my efforts to reduce electricity consumption.

The first qtr is over and despite me running the business from home now energy consumption has crashed by 950KwH

The energy meter (which frankly is a bit hit and miss) helped kick start it. I have put certain things on timers and others on products I sell (so I wont mention them)

If I keep this up we will save about £380 this year! I am hoping for a long hot summer to keep the figures low!

I will be sponsoring the site but my website still isnt finished and nor is the online store which makes advertising a bit pointless!

Give up ? No way. I need to spend more time here. I have been reading research papers for what seems an eternity....

I dont want to take advantage of the board so I will keep silent for the time being.

But free bread recipies aren't advertising (as long as you aint recommending a particular brand of flour)!

But if one flour gives better results than another and the recommendation comes from one of us is that OK? There are some really good flours about and some mediocre ones.
