another one people forget, is turning down your fridge and freezers in the really cold winters, these alone take masses of electric as they constantly turn on and off the gas coolant pump, you can save a lot of electric there too if your not lucky enough to afford the best low energy applyences etc.

for fun, and semi portability (more than long term electric savings,but it would save lots), iv even looked at running a PC and LCD off solar power and a big battery pack, it can work but i cant afford the industrial batterys or a large pannel facing the large south windows yet.

LCD's use a hell of a lot less electric compaired to a generic desktop CRT monitor, as do the rather neat small car PC kits ,compaired to desktop models, these car PCs are more than good enough to browse and do everyday web stuff other than high wattage PC gameing etc.
