Free power day

Postby Weka » 08 Apr 2016, 21:25

Well it is for me anyway!

So far today, I've done 2 loads of washing (there's another x number still to do) and of course I'm drying it in the dryer and not hanging it on the line

Run the dish washer, I've been saving the dishes, so there's a few more loads to run.

And it's cook up day today. I've harvested and frozen 13.5 kgs of tomatoes so I'm turning those into sauces of different types, 4kgs of pickled onions, stock, passion fruit jam... Erm I think that's all...

And I'm going to get hubby busy with cleaning the downstairs carpet as the cat is a little $h!t and doesn't always use her litter tray. And of course that's going to require the fan heater and fans in it to dry properly as it's Autumn here now.

And after all this, I think I will need a long hot bath to relax (electric hot water cylinder)

I should have taken a power reading before I started

Do they often do that or is that just a one off? It would have been interesting taking that meter reading :D

We're on free power at the moment, but only because the sun is out :Hi: :Hi:

We are like you ton, luckily today was overcast

If I'm reading my app right, we have used 57.1kWh today. If only I'd had another half hour, I could have got the last load of dishes done after the pickled onions.

I don't know if this is a new thing that's stating or what the story is. You get to choose your day, last time we choose Christmas Day as we were catering for lunch and dinner. No washing that day though.

I hope we get another one.
