    Just updated my figures after a few months, ploughing on with Prolific as my main source of funds, as and when. Notables this month have been £49 for the sale of some copper pipe from our loft following disconnection of cold water tanks, and £50 from a referral on our move to Octopus.  Have just completed our first bank switch so hopefully £200 coming our way from Natwest, but haven't counted that yet. Not sure that EDF won't try and claw back the £100 smart meter incentive as we've moved from them. They've given me money back but haven't provided a bill yet, so I should also be due £30 compensation for that! Have got a complaint in via Resolver, but I can see that dragging on...
