    Still calculating for me. But I just won a pound on the wheel so not all bad.

    I decided it's not worth the effort of planning the day around staying in eagerly watching the clock, to run the dishwasher, washing machine, etc., all for pennies.
    Completely on board with this, not worth the effort for, in my case, 44p.

    I also won my first ever 800 points on spin the wheel this month. Either Octopus are being generous or something has gone wrong.

    I'll be out. I may leave the TV on can't miss out ....;-)

    If you follow the link in the email to see your previous results on mine it still suggests they are paying £1/kWh which they haven't of course.
