Octopus saving sessions

Sunday as expected (by me) Octopus didnt bid.
I managed 3.6kWh during the 1100 free hour despite 2.4kWh of PV. AT 1200 IOF expects me to pay 22.17p/kWh whilst agile users get 2.3p for using it. The good news will get 28.15p when I export it 1600-1900.

I had 12:00 to 13:00 and I think I am close to the 16kWh. It's quite warm in here!

12-13 for me so whatever starts it can finish during a cheap 13-16 period. Too warm to go crazy with heating but..
3kWh hot water tank
1kWh half run of dishwasher + full run of washing machine
1kWh of cooking.
£1.25 back.

kept a close eye on our live usage - at one point jumped to switch off the heater as we were topping out at 18.9kwh. We used just under 16kWh

I booked 11am - 1pm. Managed 2 washing machine loads, 1 dishwasher cycle, vacuumed much of the house. Had also intended to mow the lawn, but with the weather being changeable I decided against that. Was expecting the in-home display to indicate that the cost of the electricity used was higher than it shows. Oh well, every little helps!

I cancelled our booked hour 2-3pm as it was sunny and I was struggling to export from the battery in the hour before, so wouldn't have gained much on import. Of course it's raining here now.
Had planned to use the tumble drier, immersion, ironing, bake a cake. Cake got baked on solar, and ironing done off the battery.
Never a wet Sunday afternoon when you want one!

If it's relevant to anyone remember there are only 5 Sundays left in this scheme so 10 more sessions are the max you can use if you are lucky enough to book 2 sessions each Sunday.
I imagine only ex Nero coffee drinkers will be lucky on the 1st.
