    We never actually ran out of rainwater - we have storage for 4 cu m. And indeed a backup plan for flushing with drinking water if we use up all the rainwater stock.

    When first commissioned, I only had 2 cu m of storage and was having to flush with mains water for a week or two most years. Since increasing to 4 cu m we've never run out.

    Well, those 3 days were fun. They eviscerated all excess that had built up. Now predicting 596.6kWh v's 597kWh target.

    Still, a good weeks forecast ahead, so hope yet for my first plus month of the year. :undecided

    Could not agree more, 3 days of rain since we came back from the Lake District (where it only rained on our last night there!).

    Just over an O a day for the last three days, but today has started well with bright sunshine bouncing off the clouds :)
