Some of it is "catch up" from estimates- I have two meter readings
between Jan 08 and Oct 08 that now corresponds to 20 kWh a day.

This still seems very high. - if I assume:

Thats about what I've got our consumption down to. Oil CH/HW but cook by
'lectric, virtually all lights are CFL or flourescent.

Washing-machine-dryer/dishwasher are both on once a day - 3 kWh

Computers (x2) - 0.5 kWh x 24 - 12 kWh

250W/computer is probably on the high side unless they 2 zillion gigahertz
machines. 150W to include monitor and other bits may be better for
guesstimations. Still over 7 units/day for them though.

Gadgets on standby 0.1 kWh x 24 - 2.4 kWh
(lots of IT stuff, 2 X TV, wifes "toys")

TV may well take more than you expect, particulary if it is a large LCD or
plasma jobbie. I though "toys for females" ran of batteries...
