Ask to transfer to a smart tariff with Octopus, then they'll have an incentive to do the change quickly.

By crap I take it you mean only 24 degrees and some fluffy clouds around in the south coast area 🤣

Actually what is the thermal output from large dogs as you could add my four dogs as heaters to the forum energy output.

Cam's a good name? Congratulations on the new addition. Not so sure on kW output of dogs though?

I can't let SWMBO see that, they are her favourite dog, about 15 years ago an elderly one called Sophie was always being walked around here and the owner let her cuddle it every time their paths met. Even to this day wherever we are, when she sees a similar dog she keeps saying, oh look it's Sophie. My bad humoured reply is always "Sophie's dead".

I remember when listening to Steve Wright's (RIP) radio show he used to occasionally have this posh guy talking about etiquette and one time he mentioned about in the very olden days before heating and you had overnight visitors, you'd put a dog on the guest's bed to warm it up.

By crap (weather) I mean its 21 degrees and heavy cloud with about 3 kW or 4kW coming in.

My weather App is telling me Moxiland is presently a bit damp.

Your weather app is very accurate 🤣

I will put up a photo in the pets section and yes don’t let the other half see it because he’s really cute!

Mart based on your previous posts I would say look at your own risk 😀

I see KH is also winding down a bit.

It’s a disaster ! When did the blades fall off at KH ?

🤣

I take the absence of the blades to suggest that they’re updating the dashboard a bit ready for Monday ? Or maybe the blades have really dropped off ? 😳

Anybody got anything from Ripple yet this month? I know they said it would be delayed and come later with KH to process too, but it's now about a fortnight after it usually comes in...

Ripple have said,

"As this is the first month for Kirk Hill savings, we need to undertake some additional data validation and we also need to include and verify any referral credits. This will take some additional time.

This means that even if you do not hold shares in Kirk Hill, your June savings will not be added to your electricity account until nearer the end of July.

Going forward we expect savings to be added to your electricity account on or around the third week of the month, not the second as has previously been the case."



They have failed to mention It used to be the first week before it became the second week and now going to the third week. :evil:
