Not sure if this has been done on here before but thought it may be interesting.
My bill was $460.44 with all the mod cons used, dishwasher reverse cycle air con most nights electric cooking,hot water, Outside lights on few hours of a night, washing a few loads a day, Air con used few hours most days. We don't use the dryer. We watch TV 1hr each night for the news and then its turned off as we dont allow the children to watch it, They have to do school work and bible study.
We mainly only use electricity from 5-10pm and around 2hrs of a morning as we work full time and children are in before and after school care as well attending church Saturday as well sport and church/bible study on sunday's so roughly the same times each day we use the electricity, The fridge/freezer obviously going 24/7
We don't have a gas connection where we live.

Try letting your kids breathe for themselves a little OP, it won't hurt them or you, but if you don't grant them a little bit of slack you may well end up losing them totally in a few yaears if they rebel against your overly strict manner.
Either that or they won't be able to cope in the real world...

Dianne, your kids are going to turn into boring nerds with no friends because they won't know how to handle themselves in social situations.

It depends if she is for real or if she's winding us up.
