plan ahead and empty and TURN OFF your fridge AND freezer. It is a very good idea to use up all frozen food at least every 6 months. If you have a few things left over, park them with a friend.

turn of your hot water cylinder the day before you leave. There will be plenty of hot water for final showers and washing up before you leave.

Yes you can keep your leadlights. Double glaze your existing leadlights with a great energy saving effect.

Air your house and remember fresh air is warming up quicker than damp and old air. Open all windows for 5 min. The house will not cool down and the moisture is gone.

don't boil 2 liters of water when you only want 1 cup of tea. Jugs are big power users.

a pot roast is just as yummy and unless you are feeding an army you really don't need to use your oven. Potatoes can be cooked in a pot, too. My power bill is app.
