    So far every single one of the free sessions has been at a time when either I've been unable to join in or when Agile is negative. I have managed to set the WM to run during todays though, so I may actually benefit from it!

    Has everyone got their September saving session payments now?
    It worked out fairly well for me:
    31/08 - 52p
    01/09 - 54p
    06/09 - 33p
    07/09 - 105p
    11/09 - 64p
    15/09 - 34p
    18/09 - 98p
    That's a £4.30 saving on a £35 electricity bill for the month, and almost 53kWh of free leccy 🙂

    I saved £4.49 for September. 
    I’m really pleased with that. At the beginning, in August, I didn’t make great use as I was slow to understand so they were like practice runs!  The last two I was away so merely turned on the heating remotely for the duration.

    I'll definitely be dumping as much electric heat into the house that I can
    Nothing here on that. Either email or in account.
    Which area are you in?

    Big buckets of wind incoming to the North!
    Plenty of wind farms under that orange splodge, and lots more not far from it.
    Take care folk if you live in an affected area, stay safe while enjoying your green electricity 😎
