    Electric heaters will be on timers as it's looking to be quite chilly

    Same here. Also immersion on and battery set to charge. Possibly some laundry too.

    Car plugged in awaiting the overnight bounty. An extravagantly long electric shower, before bed, is also on the cards. I might set the heat pump a degrees warmer, overnight. I think it might also be legionella cycle night, too/

    Dishwasher, washing machine, and heating via electric here I think!

    What is interesting is the lunchtime negative tomorrow: add batch bread making to the lists above. I make rolls and little loaves that freeze wonderfully. I buy flour by the 16kg bag so with cheap power it makes my bread very cheap. The only issue is it's so tasty I eat too much of it!

    I hope you can freeze the bread and ration it until at least the next lot of plunge pricing!

    If I'm organised, I might do some batch cooking between meetings.
