    Just got 400 bonus points today. Guess that is my streak bonus for the last few sessions?
    I got 400 points too, I think it is the streak bonuses. Anyway, they're worth 50p so will pay for a day's electricity standing charge. While I was logged in I remembered I've still got a sausage roll to claim so will be going to Greggs at lunchtime!

    Got home, turned the lights on, put the kettle on, turned the telly on, dug something for tea out the freezer, about to use the hob and microwave, noticed it was 18.05. Turned it all off again.

    Not a lot of scope with the session being just 1/2 hour even though it's the sort of time she'd normally be cooking. Our baseline is just under 0.54kWh and according to Bright we actually used 0.112 so maybe a 0.4kWh saving. There were still a few things i could have switched if I'd thought of them. Freezer could easily be off for 1/2 hour but I'd need to remember to switch it back on, fridge isn't easily accessible, backup Internet router is only 7W. 

    I've just one of our Tapo P110s on the heating system so in future I'll be able to force it off for the period. Will also we handy when we're away as it can be over-ridden off until the afternoon while we're travelling back.

    I alerted my neighbour who was on holiday in a different time zone, so he had an interesting time sorting out his inverter to export charge to the grid in the right time slot.

    None here, probably missed a fair few sessions due to them stopping email notifications and the app being unreliable.
    Still I got 2p from the session on 2 march, so not all bad.
    Missed 5 since the first session in November.  I opted in to all the one's I known about.
    14 March still calculating, usually takes Octopus 3 days to tell me my points its so slow.
