Is that for definite or still likely to be pulled?MultiFuelBurner said:IT'S ON 5-6PM TONIGHT !
I think the cut off was around 14:30 last year so sometimes we get notification in the morning then nothing happens.1 -
95% sure if you want a percentage due to the amount of test sessions they have to get in before year end and avoiding certain Christmas days.redzhell said:

Worth the shout out for those that need to plan their savings events.1 -
Makes sense I suppose. I rely on people here of advanced notifications so can plan things when sessions are officially announced so thanks!MultiFuelBurner said:95% sure if you want a percentage due to the amount of test sessions they have to get in before year end and avoiding certain Christmas days.

I welcome another 5pm session. I had high usage on two days last week as I charged my electric car. Not gaming the system, I'm on Intellegent Octopus so they decide when to charge it. Last week, they decided twice to start charging when I plugged in on my return from work, which was about 16:30.1
