Here's a list of simple things you can do immediately -

1. Turn it off when not in use (lights, television, DVD player, Hi Fi, computer etc. etc. ...)
2. Turn down the central heating slightly (try just 1 to 2 degrees C). Just 1 degree will help reduce your heating bill by about 8%.
3. Turn down the water heating setting (just 2 degrees will make a significant saving)
4. Check the central heating timer setting - remember there is no point heating the house after you have left for work
5. Fill your dish washer and washing machine with a full load - this will save you water, electricity, and washing powder
6. Fill the kettle with only as much water as you need
7. Do your weekly shopping in a single trip
8. Hang out the washing to dry rather than tumble drying it
