If you get a monitor that has a data out you can produce things like

Brilliant. My monitor does exactly that - or at least it would, if I
could get the poxy PC to see the poxy monitor ...

Meanwhile, having turned off almost everything, I got down to 84w usage.
A couple of phones and the router.

Turning stuff back on was interesting. Difficult to be exact because I
don't know when things like freezers are coming on or off, but :

2 x laptop chargers 140w
5 x fluorescent tubes 215w (2', 40w each)
fridge and fridge freezer 275w (but I think only one was running)
Son's PC 40w
My PC 240w (scary)

I really need to do this with everyone else out of the house. What is
slightly worrying is that it seems to be obvious that this usage is us
specific rather than building specific. In other words, if we moved
from this Victorian pile to a modern, insulated 2 bed bungalow and took
our current habits with us, electricity consumption would not change.

P.S. Good to know that this thread is making others check their usage
and habits :-)
