That would've been Tom getting ready for work. The kitchen lights get left on all night if we're in bed before them. They'll leave TVs on in empty rooms. Tom will turn on the light in his room during the day rather than walk to the window and open the blind.
Jo, get LED bulbs; they hardly draw any electricity so if left on it really doesn't cost a lot. As for the TV's that's a very different matter as they do draw quite a bit. Just tell them 3 strikes and they're out - after the third time of being left on with them out then you remove the TV for a week; that'll soon teach them. Obviously empty room whilst they're popping down for a cuppa etc doesn't count, but anything over 1/2 hour I'd nab them
