I've had an offer from my supplier to take part in a trial. They will send me a text at times of high demand, and if I use less electricity than I might have otherwise I get it for free for a couple of hours. I hope I don't come to regret it!

I foresee your life becoming like that of a permanent night-shift worker but the 'leccy' will be cheap !

We have smart meters for both gas and electricity. I have had to take manual readings the last two times as BG say they don't work. I find this suspicious as they are totally independent from one another, and nothing has changed from when they were working.
