Charged S3 all last night and unplugged this morning,now I've been on browser playing about trying to replicate my browser crashing to see if it's a specific site but all is ok atm.

However battery is draining away before my eyes !! 25 mins on phone and it's dropped to 91% is this bad ?
 
i was on 2 days 17 hours with still 26% left. I've noticed the 1st 10% does drain quite quickly before it settles down

Everything I've read on Lithium Ion batteries suggests that the first 10% is pretty inaccurate and that these batteries rarely ever actually get to 100% charged. That might explain a 9% drain in 25 minutes.
 
57min off charger, screen on 41min, 88% remaining.

Seems really good to me. I've turned off refreshing for Twitter and Facebook, Facebook still seems to push notifications though. I have all gestures, smart stay etc turned on but I might turn smart stay off as it doesn't work very well for me.

Hey there Mattye,
If you go into the facebook app, open the left hand menu, go down to 'account', select 'app settings' and turn off the notifications in there. It sems these work in addition to the standard sync options.

Thanks but I actually like them to be on :p it was the close friend notifications that were annoying me but I've disabled them now!
