    2.71 o's for me

    all good

    made most the free stuff.....

    charged car with granny lead
    4 washing machine cycles
    1 tumble dryer cycle
    2 showers
    pc on all day

    used....mains meter only increased by 4kw hrs!!

    only weekends i can really max out on the free stuff though

    af

    Oh dear, you engaged with this thread for too long and the virus has spread, you've been infected, we've dragged you down (up?) to our level. ;)

    Trying to think of a descriptive term for us, like "walkers" for zombies on The Walking Dead. Anyone like "Shiners"?

    Got 1.63 Os yesterday, and predicting 103% for February, so continued good start to 2015.


    @Zeup, not just you, they are really rubbing it in with their adverts/infomercials for their weather service. I haven't seen reliable 7 day forecasts since late 2011. :mad:

    Does that make any sense?smiley-confused001.gif

    Makes a hell of a lot more sense than most of the carp I post. :o

    Phew, managed 2.6 O's combined yesterday, helped by on by 3.7 o's from the SSW


    "Shiners"? Hmm? How about we all have a say and the person who comes up with the best as voted by all gets 3 pardons for their figures to keep the spoon at bay! Come on Groovy, Mart & I....we're always the front runners so time to get our heads into gearsmiley-laughing025.gif

    2.5 O`s in sunny Scotland yday, ain`t looking so hot today though!
    I like Shiners :D
    To throw another in the mix - Soleys.......:embarasse

    Anyone else get their FiT from SSE? I`m still waiting for them to let me put in another reading. Got a letter back in November I think, saying they were updating their system and no readings would be taken till around Feb but we`d all get a letter requesting this. This ring any bells for anyone else?

    P*sses me off as they take ages to pay up once you submit anyway :p
