Stephen,

I checked the things you suggested - no iTunes playing in the background etc. 
But I did delete a couple of the apps. And from a full charge at 7.30 yesterday 
evening, to now 10.22 a.m. it has only gone down to 91% charge. A massive 
improvement, though I absolutely don't understand why or how!
