    How pants are these figures!?
    Today - 0.613 ho's (2.45 in real money kWh)
    Yesterday - 2.485 ho's (9.941 kWh)
    Target for month is 226 kWh, actual with 5 days to go.... 160.4 kWh :(

    So, I need 13.12 kWh per day for the rest of the month - doable?

    Never got to see the sun today as I went to work in the dark and came home in the dark. It did come out at home for a bit. smiley-taunt007.gif

    Only 1.58 O's for me today. office.gif

    Need 24 Kwh over the next 4 days to make my target so smiley-score006.gif will be enough.
