Re: G99 Comissioning forms and schematic

It's a very complicated Visio document which will need a total redraw to suite your system, if you still want it I'll post it, although it may already be on here.

Re: Octopus saving sessions coming 1st Nov

I got £6.66 and £6.70 for the last two, should be very similar for tonight's as well.

Nearly missed tonight's, had been out driving all day, only discovered the notification about 16:30.

Both of mine appeared earlier as well.

10680 points for 2/2 £13.35
7128 for 8/2 £8.91

£162 worth of points in total so far - I missed one session worth £35 due to metering issues :x

Re: Octopus saving sessions coming 1st Nov

Odd how Octopus haven't yet finalised the figures for 2 February yet.
