    On the very verge of attaining 3Os. That in itself is a wonder given the miserable weather conditions with the central heating back on this evening. I thought 31 May would be last day for central heating this yesr.

    Not posted for a while, but back on shift after time off :(

    Generated 551 kWh in May, which is about £94 for me. Estimated was 487.

    On average I import between 5 and 6 units per day at this time of year, it`s double that in the deepest darkest months. Nothing obvious jumps out at me as to why import is higher than others on here, TV`s and Sky on standby doesn`t use much, 1 fridge and 1 freezer. We do have a baby monitor (video+sound, small light, movement matt under matress) which is on all night every night....after some Googling I can`t seem to find any figures on that though!

    Just passed 5 Mwh this week in total aswell :j
