First Electricity meter reading

On the first day of the month, the carbon watchers are supposed to take a meter reading and send it in to Severn Wyre Agency. I meant to do it first thing this morning, but I've only just remembered!

Never mind; at least I have the right day. Our reading is 96661. Throughout the year we're going to be logging this to see if we can reduce the amount of electricity we use.

The village we live in does not have mains gas, so that reading is not applicable for us. In addition, we run a woodburner, so our winter electricity usage shouldn't be too much more than our summer usage, although we do have a couple of electric convector heaters as a back up heat source and I do tend to cook more meals in the winter.
