Turn lights off that arent being used directly.
Dont leave TV on standby (drians as much power as it being on)
Turn off all plug sockets when not in use - ac adaptors, phone chragers etc still drain power).
Switch your gas and electric to EDF (currently cheapest for most)
Do things that dont require power and broaden your mind in doing so (read, be active etc)

I brought my electric bill down to Â£41 per quarter doing this and last gas bill was Â£20 per qtr (no kids though)

It's the wife who uses most of our electric! I said no dear keep using the battery ones but she insisted on the Large Deluxe model with mains adaptor - the neighbours think I'm using an electric drill in the bedroom!!!!

Who said anything about vibrators, you mucky bugger, I was on about an electric toothbrush..........tut tut

Some great tips in this topic - I'm already doing most of them (and that was before the strike had even begun!).

Our manager has been trying to put people off striking by saying the money for the strike days will be taken out of one weeks wage

This is illegal and a blatent lie,mind you he got rid of nights in our office and guess what most nights we are having to bring staff in even though we told him it would'nt work

The bristol union people on here will know who he is ,the man who's first name is pronounced wrongly

O/T is what I have to do, to work longer than some of my colleagues on F/T contracts & take home less pay than them
