    Cracking start to the month

    25.8 kWh (£12.50)

    + 3 hours of immersion heater, followed by a slow cooked chicken chasseur, while I sunbathed. All free :)

    May has started reasonably well. 20.08 kWh

    Even the weather forecasters didn't do too badly in that they said morning would be sunny (it was) but it would cloud over by lunchtime (it did). Where they let themselves down was in saying it would stay cloudy till 7pm when it actually brightened up by 3pm.

    Tomorrow's forecast looks to be a repeat of today's forecast. Can only hope that tomorrows actual will be as good as today has been.

    'Wearing my other hat' , forecasters don't seem to be predicting any rain at all in near future. Trust they'll be wrong on that too - in about three weeks time, I may have to start buying water for WC flushing :eek:

    Hmm I like May already - 6.6O's for today (26.4kWh). Nice cool day with clear skies. Shame I have to keep covering the plants to stop them getting "frosted"!

    A very humble 6.68 O's for me, could have been better; ahh well.... smiley-laughing025.gif

    Was going to say 'double or nothing to Shafeeq', but I am too polite. smiley-laughing021.gif Plus I would have to have done 7.59 O's.....smiley-laughing021.gif
