Ok!! Wait a minute!!!
I charged it lunch time (because I killed it using it this morning) and It's stable!! The battery has remained constant at guessing at 10 days idle and 7 hours in use!! And it's been like that for 9 hours!!!
It might just be a case of it playing mind games with me... It likes to do that
One little question: How many processed should be running at any one time on a device that has just been flashed?
Also does the flip out keyboard drain the battery more or less than using the one on screen, or one through the USB port?
Oh and I'm not a He!! I'm a She :P

Sorry, unless otherwise specified i assume a male gender...
Anyways, not sure how many processes there should be.
A usb keyboard may act more draining on the battery tho, as it draws power from the usb port. And the extendable keyboard i'm unfamiliar with as i own a N800.

You will now be using 10 milli-watts of power rather than 100 or in another way 1/10th the power drainage during wifi. I've read that

The option of choosing the 10 mW transmission power is there only because certain countries require this in their law. The low power transmission has a negligible effect on the battery lifetime because the data is sent in short bursts that last for less than 1% of total time. On the other hand, the lower transmission power will make it harder to keep connected. Therefore it is best to use the (default) 100 mW power, unless legislated otherwise in the law of your country.

I couldn't resist! For some reason, something about my username just makes people assume I'm male 
I spend months on WikiAnswers trying to convince the other supers that I was female!

Does using the on screen keyboard (Or I guess using the touch screen a lot) have a great effect on the battery power?

Whaaa, i'm happy to be wrong ! It's nice that your device works properly again !
... About the gender thing, I guess that, unfortunately, genius is suposed to be male related, a little bit like "nurse" is unofficially female related. Even if our cultures are evolving ... there is still a macho background, isn't it ?

Lol Since when is Genius related mainly to males? It sure is a man's world!! Even with women's rights, men still run the joint
And YAY^^ So far the battery hasn't dropped at all!
All I have to do now is start installing some programmes back on it... Are there any that are known to have a great effect on battery power?
The ones that I use the most are Xournal and USBcontrol, but if either of these could contribute to the grain just by being on there (the USB one is only used when I'm plugged in to the mains) then I'll reconsider putting them on!

Also, maybe it's been asked, but is your Bluetooth off?
