    Pah! You're not even trying - I saved 89%, stayed in and earned ......... 10p! B)
    Do Money Saving sites make you buy more bargains - and spend more money?

    It wouldn't be in the spirit of things but I wonder if anyone has taken to moving their normal daily intensive workloads to 5pm. I wouldn't have anything to move.

    Must admit, I was thinking of running the dishwasher or washing machine around peak times rather than earlier or later in the day, when it's not an energy saving session of course.
    As you say, not in the spirit of things though!

    That's what will happen though, and in fact having banked my 86p as mentioned above, I have put off doing some washing earlier in the day and saved it to put on in the next half hour or so (4.p.m. as I am posting.) My usage at this time of day isn't high but if I can bump the average up a bit, it might make me another 10p next time!

    You think you are abusing/gaming the system but this is what they want you to do.
    There are times when they have an excess of power and times when there is not enough.

    I don't think it is what "they" want us to do. How is the grid load different on a Tuesday at 5pm compared to the next day at 5pm? Unless of course one of those days is an energy saving day.  :smile:

    It's not a in day adjustment type game but moving genuine workload on some days heading in to a forecasted extended cold/low wind period where DFS could be called for several days in a row and all event days are excluded....

    Met office do a fairly detailed 10 day forecast.
