    a paltry trick or treat 2kwh for us today.

    Brought us to a grand total of 246kwh for the month which is 9% over our forecast for october 2012.

    Also noticed this month we are consuming about 1kw extra a day compared to last October and that was pre-solar.

    A race to the bottom now for the next 3 months methinks!
