Might be worth reporting to your supplier anyway, at least it logs the issue in case of future changes, or might alert them to a potential failure.

Uk power networks should have a 24 hr phone line.Good point... I'll see if there's a facility on the E-on website for logging faults.
UK Power Networks are on the Book of Faces, so I can go that way.
Maybe it's all the people charging the new electric cars that they got for Christmas.
Seriously though - The most likely cause of low supply is the supplier network - External to your house.
I wouldn't expect New Years Day to be a time of high power demand.
The industrial and commercial level of demand will be low.
Can you plug a portable lamp into a socket outlet to see if this is affected in the same way.
Having the same fault arise in multiple places simultaneously isn't a plausible scenario, so you're always looking for the parts of the system that are common to all faults. If you're sure it's affecting all circuits then it has to be upstream of the consumer unit(s). It's worth looking around the CU and its connection to the meter for signs/smells of overheating, but failing that, it's most likely to be a fault in the line to the house. Neighbours with the same problem would be a dead giveaway. Don't leave it till Tuesday if you find anything overheating, https://www.eonenergy.com/emergencies.html.
