Edf beat the peak

Cazella

i only got one out of The 3.only got emailed on the first one not the next two  then at 4.10 today checked my emails and it had just come through as my daughter said she got email this morning.45p on first one so dont think it’s going to do much.actually reminds me of the 70s when everyone in certain streets had lec turned off for hours at a time.we were all electric then just like I am now.didn’t even have the luxury of a coal fire to keep warm.we just sat and read books with a lamp and put an extra jumper on.being kids didn’t bother us at all.no internet mobiles or gadgets then haha.always kept ourselves amused.nice simple uncomplicated time.right now I’m just sitting reading a book with my different solar lights on .very festive haha.😀

im on octopus and same as u cuppa made at 4.58, everything is off apart from heating sys on standby and router 1 small 5w lamp over my laptop running on it battery 

I’ve even turned the boiler off on the wall lol made sure it was warm then it won’t cool down too much here before I can turn it back on. Definitely have to do everything we can don’t we.
I’m guessing all suppliers are doing the same time then I wasn’t sure so hopefully together we will all be helping beat the peak!

That’s interesting I didn’t know they did that as I’m only 34 but it’s definitely a nice chilled time as long as we have a bit of light its all bonding time x

i also remember powercuts in the 70s i would have been in my juniors about 8, was exciting times playing out in the real dark, could do it them days not now

Lol and it was seriously pitch black outside wasn’t it as even our street lights were off!👀

That must’ve been pretty exciting back then definitely not now would only end up with more crimes no doubt 🤦🏻‍♀️

Mine arrived at 1530. I haven't bothered this time and cooked my fry up tea as normal at 5pm. With them upping the bonus maybe they are getting desperate to find those who do actually use power at that time as most of us are getting pennies each time.

I would do the same if I was getting nothing back then pretty pointless they should’ve rolled it out better to the people that can actually help save the grid electric
