    Worst day of the month by far, SSW..only 1.5 O's, my systems shut down at 5.15pm until 5.50pm due to a major downpour(thunder and lightning). At 7.45pm my WNW hit 1.5kWh...crazy summer days..smiley-angry016.gif
    Still, July is looking way above targetsmiley-happy119.gif

    Nice outcome all round then ed!
    Does your pet roofer travel to Northamptonshire?
    Might have a stack to remove here!



    In answer to your question. Yes I am sure he would but the cost for your chimney removal would certainly be a lot higher due to his travelling and fuel costs from Hertfordshire!! Plus we got mate rate because we know his brother well and he did the job for us as a favour. A neighbour of ours is also going to have his chimney removed now since he has seen the work that was done on our house so you might have to join a queue!!!!

    I am just a few miles from you Legoman but have quite different results most days. This morning the geo monitor has not even switched itself on, there is so little light around. I can just about see some streaks of blue stuff amongst the high cloud. Thank heavens I used the dishwasher and washing machine yesterday. As they say, make hay ......

    Why not put some info in your signature....good for comparison;)
    Today was worse than yesterday, my lowest result for this month, only 3.2 O's; beats July 4th. '13 when I only made 2.32 O's mind you......:eek::eek::(coffee.gif
    May have beaten the Leggo looking at his results.....Close call ! smiley-laughing021.gif

    Not quite....made 3.45 O's yesterday:rotfl:

    Passed 300kWh for the month, but July 2013's 559kWh looking a long way off:)

    Not had any time to post much recently, but another cracking couple of weeks with Hawaii's a-plenty, including yesterday:

    Wattson Anywhere still going well, apart from last Thursday, when it thought I'd used 170kWh and was drawing 36kW. Turning it off and on again and replugging all cables fixed this.
