i always read advices in which appliances and unused items should be turned off AND unplugged but it doesn't say why. does just leaving appliances off and plugged still run the meter?

Anyone know how to repair a chip in any of the above? There must be something you can fill a chip with (especially a tiny one) before painting over it. Also, what is the best glue for repairing breaks (strong and dries clear). M.

I'm having a problem with the safety valve/drain which is placed between the main water valve (which controls the water entering into the house) and the boiler/heater. At night - and this only happens at night, after 9 p.m. - the valve leaks, draining excess water into the outside sewage drain. This is obviously beacause of excess water pressure. So my questions are:
-should I replace the safety valve/drain? It's pressure rating is 7 bars
-Any other way of reducing the water pressue w/o replacing the valve?
-Any idea why this only happens at night?

I've always had trouble ironing, so I only dry-clean or I leave it too long and it looks crappy. I don't know how, but I always am getting my pants dirty. I am always in business attire but dry cleaning is very expensive in Sydney. I also don't have a lot of time, so my idea is to machine wash, hang, and iron... How does that sound, and how should it best be done.
