Gas usage mega increase

Yup, a reading and accompanying photo per day over the last month. Sometimes multiple photos a day when the readings are questionable!

Smartphones (I assume that's what you're using) have certainly made photographing things easier for most of the population.

It's strage how, ever since most people have begun carrying effective and inexpensive cameras with them everywhere they go, aliens have stopped abducting people ...

The spreadsheet is up and running. Given the news about Octopus taking over Bulb I've downloaded all my old statements too.

And talking of the takeover, I wonder where it leaves me in terms of disputing old readings.

And talking of readings, here's today's. Average use before the meter swap was 3 units a day throughout October. Since the swap 4 days ago I've used 1.4 units.

Sensible move to download statements, too many people rely on their online accounts - you can't beat your own local copy!
I'd be concerned about Octopus taking over too. At least you appear to have a working meter now though.

It's addictive, this. Up to a solid 0.7 now.

Expecting to tick over to 1 by tomorrow, which would make 2 units used over the week.

A couple of weeks ago the old meter clocked 24 units over seven days.

Hi,

that's good.

Just curious, is your meter sending readings to IHD and supplier?

Alas not. The installer was told not to 'fully' hook the new meter up for now.

We shall see!

Slightly miffed to have ticked over into 1 whole unit this morning...

Hi,

do you mean 1 unit since yesterday or since new meter?
