Someone is profiteering
I bought my 2 spare power banks in September for about £8 each similar is now £15 I know cos I'm looking for one for a neighbour
OOh there is a setting on my HP laptop that keeps a USB socket alive even if powered off so I could use that to charge phone etc.

I still have a post it on the washing machine telling my wife to ONLY use it in 16:00-21:00 to get our basline 'peak period' usage up prior to being measured :-) How did you find out ?

I still have a post it on the washing machine telling my wife to ONLY use it in 16:00-120:00 to get our basline 'peak period' usage up prior to being measured :-) How did you find out ? message via the app and an email thanks for the heads up. I didn't have the app so downloaded it last night and then registered for the session. I actually then got my email notification this morning so there clearly are delays in sending them out. I'm not sure we are going to benefit too much from these: the national "peak periods" don't necessarily coincide with our peak usage which tends to be a bit more haphazard. Hence my recent efforts to try and shift some of our usage TO the peak periods for baseline setting purposes. But that hasn't yet gone on long enough.

Knee warming; I have a cat, a 6kg cat, but two pairs of knees. So one pair is warm but with no blood flowing and the other is cold and feeling left.

I have a retired greyhound; when she decides it's "snuggle time" you get yourself a full-blown Body Warmer. Unfortunately, eating, drinking and even breathing eventually become an issue.

Their CEO was on the Martin Lewis show (ITV if you want to watch) and he said they hope to make it available but were still looking into it so may be worth checking out now or in the next few weeks

the two earlier test runs they've done did no good for me. Earnt nothing. the two tested times (5-6 and 5:30-6:30) are not particularly peak times for us, and I seemed to continually fail to explain to 'the other half' that in normal times we want to do stuff in the peak hours so as to increase our benchmark and decrease when we might get paid. Its just not getting through..... I think Octopus may also have stopped inviting me because we've contributed naff all in the way of demand management assistance (as they are measuring it).
