Miserable again here too. Is this what 1816 was like?0.41kWh, 0.15 O's

No room for drying on a rack except in an emergency, even though we have a dehumidifier (we lost the spare bedroom when our kids got old enough that they couldn't really share). We've got a washer-dryer which per the energy label (and our own consumption) uses between 4 and 5kWh on a full wash-and-dry cycle, and around 1kWh to wash only.Spies said:@QrizB My washer only uses 0.5kw per load at 30c, then I run a dehumidifier for a few hours at 250w are you running a tumble dryer?

A mighty 0.25O's yesterday, but overall Nov is going well with a projection of 104%.
About 3% of annual generation left to make (or lose) for the year, so 106% for 2021 all but locked in now.Mart. Cardiff. 8.72 kWp PV systems (2.12 SSW 4.6 ESE & 2.0 WNW). 28kWh battery storage. Two A2A units for cleaner heating. Two BEV's for cleaner driving.

We swapped our dehumidifier for one of these several years ago.
Fraction of the cost to run!
