This is a stupid question but when I've turned my PC off for the night I will often turn the plugpoint it's connected to off as well, will this cause any damge or is it fine to do this?

No problem. The computer has a small battery which ensures that all the settings are retained in memory. You'd only have a (potential) problem if you left the PC off for months and the battery may run down.
