    I'm going to have to have another roar whirr around the mountains in the EV to make more room to harvest the bounty.

    I've done lots of laundry over the last few days - much of it dog/cat stuff. So I'll drain the machine and clean the filter tonight, and run a drum clean overnight. I can then put on a load of whites when I get up, which can then go in the TD when the clothes are washing (which will go on the heated airer, then the sofa throws can go in, and then I can start working through bedcovers and stuff and end up with dog bedding again.

    We're having venison tomorrow, so I need to look at options for cooking it.

    Dave is my new best friend! Today's earnings have covered the standing charge and left me with a little bit over so far - aiming to burn a bit more in the minus slots this side of midnight and as much as possible overnight. Running out of things to wash now so may just have to do a washing machine clean …

    Waiting for the stories where some appliance blows up chasing 11p kwh payback.

    That said should get about £5 for today not even pushing things just normal Sunday routine and roast etc with a few tweaks like immersion for legionella cycle.

    Kids are already wondering why the house is 22oC when they woke up lol
