A small win is still a win, well done @badmemory. And saving 50% on energy is fantastic. Solar panels and heat pumps are obligatory, the council wouldn't let us build otherwise0

Just to say that 50% is the worst day so far. Even on a really good summer day I cannot avoid the 10% minimum usage when DS has his shower. It is what it is & is not worth trying to cut this down, it's a bit like OCD.

Here we go - the shower. 3k from the solar, 4k from the grid & 4k from the battery. Thank goodness the sun is doing quite well.

You'll have to get him running on a treadmill hooked up to the mains before his shower @badmemory 😁2

Ooh I've won £200 on the PB! Thank you Ernie.
Going to put 75 in my current account as I'm getting a bit anxious about living money what with the big 'build' spends
50 in flat pot
75 in Christmas pot
Only managed a 25 minute walk today as period started and I am not feeling my best. Found the first McMo tokens of the season though, what excitement 😂
Mum is popping round for a glass of wine shortly then dinner is using up Olio foods- a massive bowl of cheesy mash potatoes and carrots on the side
