East Midlands, opted in, battery set to discharge, should make just over £2, not life changing but well worth spending 2 minutes programming the battery for

Eastern region here - email received, opted in but we won't even be home so it comes down to how it balances against general use, I guess.🎉 MORTGAGE FREE (First time!) 30/09/2016 🎉 And now we go again…New mortgage taken 01/09/23 🏡

Opted in but forgot until gone 5 and I can't get into the cupboard to turn the heating down (off) anyway. We'll see. Two people out who have been at home during the school hols so maybe that'll help with a small reduction from baseline. But if not, oh well.1

Mortgage freedom January 2024 - paid off 7 years early by making overpayments where we could.0 -
I got an email invite to one yesterday, which shows I am still on the system, the opt in is also different to what it was last year, now using a form, which might explain why they no longer notifying via the app. My sleep was messed up yesterday, I was tired anyway when I seen the Agile rates for yesterday, so slept through most of the chaos pricing, so should be low usage for the session period.
