    I forgot all about it, just got a notification that it's happening. Only got one hour left to go mad.
    You mean shift usage you would have used today into that one hour slot. Don't lose your mind lol

    My email is timed @18.53 with an invite to opt in, but without this forum, I wouldn’t have been able to that. 
    Managed to get all my washing, drying & vac use done and added a hot dishwasher load to clean oven shelves & bits & pieces. 
    In my excitement, I started my minimum use hour @ 17.30 instead of 18.30🤯 so ended up with 2 hours of very low use & a late meal. Don’t think I’m cut out for this.

    Didn't have much to do that could use much energy today, but we got the oven on early and let it help warm the kitchen while preparing our evening meal. Still only had about 3.5kWh of import by the time the session started. Managed to convince the kids to swap the TV for toys and battery powered screens so kept the session import itself to about 100Wh. 
    Hopefully that's enough to keep our 'winning streak' of saving in every slot so far!
    Potentially only two more to go for a clean sheet.

    I was away from home all day today. I saw this thread at lunchtime and signed up, but had no way of increasing my load during the in day adjustment window. My husband fed the kids and I think he turned the oven off by 6:30pm, but I can't imagine we made any saving.

    I did let my mil know before 2:30pm so hopefully she managed to sign-up as she said she was just about to put washing on and then waited till 2:30.

    The next challenge will be pulling the readings through. Unless it is just me, the delays with this have resumed after catching up over the weekend. Nothing for Tuesday yet on my account.
