    That's a very annoying time slot for me, but also one for maximum potential savings. I shall have to plan my day accordingly.

    I think we will be out but last 10 days average usage could be nearly 2kwh for that time period so will just set the ASHP to off during that time. So a no effort little earner really.

    Perfect timing for us. We have 'main oven ignition' at 6pm on Friday.  Looks like I'll be cranking up the inverter again tomorrow (rubs hands gleefully).  Will also wander over and see if our neighbour 3 doors away and got their solar around the same time as us has worked this one out too.

    Octopus have had bids accepted at the same price as Wednesday so likely to be £4 a kWh again.

    I'm in, thanks.  Off to the garage shortly to programme the inverter.

    Right, have set an alarm to turn the heating down/off.

    Shame they're not doing any in-day adjustments, would have been advantageous to us just by virtue of it being so cold - the heat pump is guzzling power relative to a week or two ago!  I doubt we saved anything yesterday, maybe even used more due to needing dinner to be done then (we usually have it a bit later).

    Is that a definite for tomorrow (1st) as I’ve not seen any WhatsApp for it?
    Also is it possible to delete the WhatsApp messages as I can’t seem to as I would other such notifications
