Howdy. Can anyone help me?

Just moved into an apartment in Sheffield City Centre, and am trying to find a good deal on electricity supplies.

Online Energy Saver v7 from Scottish power looks good.. but then i don't really know.. bleh.

Before you can compare tariffs, you need to know your energy usage. How much electricity do you use in say a week (in kWH)?

i read the meter, and then read it approx one day later and we'd used 10 units. No gas, so everything is electric.

BUT it's an economy 7 meter and atm the off peak water heater isn't working. We have electric storage heaters too, but this building is so warm can't see them being used much!

A lot of the comparison sites ask about current suppliers.. i've no idea who though for that as we've just moved in.

You need to measure you're usage over a longer period. A week is probably sufficient, but nothing shorter. My electricity monitor maps my usage over the course of a week and friday/sat/sun all use a lot more energy than the rest of the week.
