    Think I dumped just over 3kwh during the session. Should be a nice little earner!

    I managed to import zero watts between 5 & 6:30.  Not expecting a huge payout as it was also zero yesterday and for several days before that  but at least I'll get 100 Octopoints (worth 12.5p) and be in with a (slight) chance of winning the 8888 points.  I too am on deemed export with no export MPAN so wasn't going to force export.

    I got down to 14W consumption, this session, because I switched off the router and used 4G on the phone. Lighting came from the woodburner.

    We exported 2.64kwh across the session, having done an import just before.  Still a good chunk left in the battery, we could have just exported from what was already stored, but heyho, it's a learning curve for next time. At least we should do better than the 15p we got last time.

    Another one scheduled for tomorrow between 16:30 and 18:00.
    Same money as yesterday on offer.
    this time I am topping up my battery to 100% before I dump the lot throughout the period.

    And again their website is glitchy as I try to sign up ... These sessions are really testing their capacity.
