    I've just had my results for the last three sessions. Octopus were nice to me and gave me a couple of pence more than I earned. They are obviously hoping to keep me interested. 
    Ditto, sort of - it looks like they've rounded up to the next penny for each one.

    I earned the grand total of 16 points per session!  Can you actually buy anything at all with 6p?  Oh for the days when I could at least have had change from buying a plastic bag ...

    A grand total of 6p for the 3 sessions. 16 points in each session or 0.15kWh all for 12 LED lights.

    Makes you wonder if it is worth it, given nights pulling out. So my only source of savings is the lights. 🤷‍♀️

    I've earned a total of 20p over the last 5 sessions. No solar, no battery, no further interest...

    Accepted 17:30 to 16:30 @ 160 I assume it's all regions but it was a split bid not worth checking for 2p.

    A couple of penny chews ?

    Think I've earned about 14p over the last three sessions.

    Treasure the moments that you have. Savour them for as long as you can for they will never come back again.

    For some reason the 'opt me in' button doesn't work on my app - I'll wait and see if I get an email or it goes live on-line.  I did email Octopus last time but have to say that their email service does seem to have gone to the dogs ...
