    Ok so I'm sorry if this is a repeat question (it's a very loooong thread) but as a newbie to this, how long after the 'session' do you have to wait to see if you have earned any 'points'?
    Because this system is still very much in it's infancy, I think it's safe to assume these live events happening so quickly after the test ones are likely to add some delays to the processing of previous results!

    They had go the system pretty efficient by the last test we've got the results for though - that was about 48 hours.

    Great - Thanks :) So if I've got this right, I need to shift our normal energy use (washing machine, dishwasher, cooking etc to 12:30 - 15:30 today and then use as little as possible between 16:30 - 18:00?

    I'm heating the house by "oven" at the moment, no washing left after yesterday. Battery up at 90% already. Running out of things that need doing, don't think charging my toothbrush will make much difference.

    Thanks for the idea, I feel better with potatoes in the oven, running it with door open felt wrong lol. Already have 9 lots of soup in the freezer, can't make more.

    I've got a 3 bed bungalow and switch everything off apart from my freezer, router and landline for the switch offs.  I've just got my 19 January hour results - 56 Octopoints?  I've never had such a low figure.  I'll still do tonight and see what happens.
