I see similar things to this on my travels.

Don't know if it's of any help?

Saw something simular in B&Q last weekend.

Maplin do the same thing for £10 less. Also this http://www.maplin.co.uk/Module.aspx?ModuleNo=38343&criteria=energy meter&doy=20m2
You'll need a calculator to turn KWH into ££ though!

I've seen it on affer at Maplins during sale time for £10!

I have this it's a plug in adaptor - seem to work very well... Indicates Volts, Amps, VA, Watts, Hertz, Power Factor, elapsed time and KiloWatt hours used...

A different model on sale has battery backup which could be useful, the meter I have loses any data held when host socket is de-energised.

I wish I had mentioned that. Oh but I did!
