    4 days? How often do you get a bill?

    So you want to prove you're mature by running up a huge electricity bill. How about doing something really mature like keeping the house tidy while she is away and not burning the place down.

    Its school holiday times no traffic on the roads but boards.ie becomes infested ; )

    I hope she comes back, realises what you're at, leaves the water on for a few days to run the bill back up, and grounds you! :)

    That doesn't have storage heaters on it, they eat up power. I don't know exactly how much though but nearly as much as an immersion if my parents were to be believed....

    Burn the gaff down , that will save on everything.

    You might still be liable for household charge though.

    Turn everything off or better still turn off the main switch on the fuseboard and camp in the garden.

    Sit in darkness, facing a wall, with a creepy grin on your face. Creepy grins are known to be cost-efficient.
