Am I right in thinking tomorrow is the lowest it's been this year?

I reckon so. 15 hours should be about enough to fill the car to the brim!

Prices were very low on 1st and 2nd Jan, down to a minimum of about 2p, but tomorrow will be the lowest since then.

Sunday/Monday night looks like a chance for negative prices. Also really good Sunday midday prices too.

my washing machine is standing by with a load of towels in it - fingers crossed they can be washed and tumble dried tomorrow! We also need to make rolls for lunches, and I’ll do roast potatoes as the oven will be on anyway - all pretty standard Sunday things but an added bonus when it can be done on nice low prices.

If your smart meter fails to communicate with Octopus (even though it can communicate with Loop) and they charge you at SVT rates for the electricity you've used, do they also charge you the SVT standing charge (10p less than the Agile rates where I am …)?

Not directly relevant to Agile, but it looks like it's going to be sunny in central Europe tomorrow. Daytime electricity prices are ~zero.

Yeah I think Monday will be more expensive here -
with possibility of negative around 2am, cheapish mid-day till 16:00 and then a big jump in prices on Tuesday. So do all you can on Monday..Ok so no negative but low of 5p

Will be watching gas prices over the coming days and see if Agile is affected..
