What's your daily smart meter spend since the price rises?

This month's electricity usage is going to be higher than normal for lots of families having children home for 2 weeks.  

Need to encourage my children to actually go out these holidays!!

My smart meter goes in to the red in the evening when it thinks I have used more energy than the budget. Since the new rates have gone to the meter it seems to be in the red for a lot longer(unsurprsingly). Presumably that can't be adjusted. About £6 for a day with two people here and similar usage to OP except the heating only comes on twice.

I assume you can alter the budget within the IHD. Just set it to £20 a day, then you'll always be under budget!

Good time to teach children about energy usage and saving and make it a game?

Maybe even reward them financially for savings made during holidays

Annoyed with myself as mines gone up a bit as I forgot to switch my immersion heater off last night! 😖
