Storage heating? oh dear.

and I need to make sure that we use our electricity as economically
as possible, particularly during the daytime! I will also look out
for a load of plug timers so I can set the dishwasher to come on
overnight / charge mobiles for 2 hrs overnight etc.

Heavy loads like immersion, space heating, washing machines (clothes
and dishes), tumble dryer etc ceratinly shift into the off peak period
but remember the noise.

But mobile charging is going to take 5 years to pay for the timer, and
thats a =A32.50 cheapy that might not last the 5 years... Look at
lighting, particulary those that are on for longish periods and
consider switching to CFLs.
