    A miserable 225Wh yesterday. Can't even be ar*sed to convert it to O's it was that bad.
    Got up this morning and the wifes got oven,washer and dryer all going using a combined 3-4kWh between them(checked on my new optismart energy meter). Worse still, at just gone 9am my inverter still hasn't woken up due to the sh*tty weather outside that's due to stay with us ALL day AGAIN:(

    Oh well, you win some you lose some......

    Hi All

    Well, it's been that dull around here recently that the clouds have actually beaten the buffer afforded by our HW storage and MrsZ's shower temperature threshold was crossed ...

    Gas used for first time in 7 months ... took a while to get the system to fire up as, like others have reported, the 2 way valve was tight and a little air needed to be bled from the system, but that's nothing new as the same happens every year ... ;)

    Shame really, but looking at the satellite pictures, the low pressure centred on Birmingham is affecting most of England & Wales and doesn't seem to be moving much, if at all, so it's probably going to be a case of waiting for it to fill rather than move away ... doesn't say much for the likelihood of any decent photon farming (of either kind) for a while then ...
