What have ^you^ got plugged in this morning?

Kettle...that's it. I never use my laptop or notebook and mobile lasts longer than 24hrs even with heavy use.
Fridge/freezer are always on and I disconnect everything else from the sockets when I go out, even lamps. Vacuum gets a 4 hour charge when it runs out but I don't leave it plugged in beyond that. I only need to hoover once a week.

Electricity isn't always kept powering on an even keel and there are tendencies for surges now and again thus causing explosions/fires while re-charging mobile phones.
If I had a mobile phone I wouldn't leave it charging overnight. Nor would leave a tumble-dryer going for any length of time.
I have comparatively new wiring etc and one morning woke up with no lights as that part of the wiring had fused during the night with no apparent problem with anything on that circuit other than a surge at the main " grid ". Just a switch now to regain power and no fiddling about with fuse wires etc. hahaha.

My son tells me the chargers still use power even if some phone or gadgets not attached to them,so i try to unplug those to save money- so you may want to rethink that one Buffybee?as do my washer/dryer sockets- but as for rest- yes it would drive me to distraction if someone unplugged them all everynight and id to go round plugging them all back when i needed them- however do you manage about the fridge or freezer Liz08?? It must take your OH a long time to get to bed every night going around unplugging things.?

Tanith I recently upgraded my mobile, one of the luxuries I have allowed myself .It specifically says in its instructions Do Not Leave on charge overnight. I consider this a safety factor.

I pad and phone charges overnight and the batteries have just gone on my smoke alarm must get that sorted today no wonder we get large bills!!

Had phone charging over night. Just have tv on now. I flick all switches off at night and when I leave my boat...can't risk a fire in this metal tube.

The dog's washing machine? How does he pay the bill?

If we had a smart meter my OH would be standing over it 24/7 if things where left charging overnight,he would be a nightmare in himself.

Cheese sharpener plugged in first thing, along with the ear lights so we know where the dog is in the cellar

Plugged in this morning, kettle, toaster, TV, tablet. Obviously fridge/ freezer only switched off when cleaning/ defrosting it. Washing machine has pre set option, so when using it set it before bedtime to start at 6am.

I would never leave anything charging overnight (friend's house burnt down and they were lucky to escape with their lives!) I would also never leave the washing machine (or tumble dryer if I had one) running overnight, but I do leave the fridge, freezer etc switched on.

Charge my mobile and laptop as soon as I get up, plus toothbrush if necessary.

Nannan, a woman after my own heart! I’m forever banging on about the public information films, and the fact that we remember them so well shows that they worked. I was coming on here myself to reference “The Bedtime Routine”. ? Of course people skip through ads now, but if I was in charge I’d have one public information film shown just before every film screened at the cinema. All together now....Litter, litter, everywhere, it gets in your feet.....

BGrannie1 Thank you for all your info.

We never leave phones or tablets plugged in overnight, don't even like leaving them plugged in if I go out for a few hours.

Oh, and my DH still takes the unplugging very seriously. Which is why we once came back from three weeks away to a hideous smell and a freezer half full of some horrible stinking primordial soup.

Since we got up we have used the coffee grinder and the kettle, turned on the TV and lights in the rooms where we are sitting or working, maximum two lights at a time. Now I am using my laptop, which is plugged into the mains and have just printed an invoice for our insurance from my electronic post box.

That's the lot, as our phones are fully charged.

Stree, I am riveted...what is a cheese sharpener? Environmentalists says that you should not leave phones, tablets etc charging overnight never mind the Firebrigade!

I've used radio, TV, dishwasher, washing machine, kettle several times, charged iphone, hair dryer and lastly GHDs

I never charge phone or tablet overnight because they don't need to charge that long .....

I thought the whole point of a white meter and cheaper electricity between 10pm and 6am was to run the dishwasher, washing machine and tumble dryer overnight?
It's all very daunting if you follow every fear.....what about leaving the woodburner on overnight or when you go out?
However, I have recently bought several 'surge resistant'' extension leads as our tv was ruined one day by an electricity surge while I was out.

TV and lights on first thing in the morning? Do you live underground?
Do you have the tv on all day as background noise? I have known someone like that and...well, the less said the better.

Reading this, boy am I glad we don't have any mobile 'phones, or a Kindle, or anything else of that nature.
Only item to be plugged in here was the kettle for coffee.

My local pub burnt down because of a phone charger but my smart phone wont be charged enough for the day in the morning if I unplug it at bedtime so I still reluctantly charge it overnight

I would never EVER leave a tumble drier on over night. Not only are they common causes of fires but also the TYPE of fire they cause escalates super quickly and makes escape less likely.

And there's no need. I managed to get my drying done at daytime back when I had 2 in cloth nappies at the same time. And with 2xschool uniforms plus 2 lots of work smarts plus all the household stuff. Even when we put up some rellies longish term as well as our own family the drier wasnt on overnight.

I saw a cartoon from ?Oldie recently (can't find it now)
A young boy out with his grandfather, going to fly a kite(,?)
Little boy asks, where do I plug it in?

We unplug tv and lamps from the wall overnight. Dont use standby.
