After insane pressure from the offsprings, I had to remove the ‘modifications’ to our Constantine (What's the last bit of tech you bought? - #1792 by davidwalton) so they could use it as the intended plushy. Flippin’ kids.
I’ve just checked and it looks like they’re still accepting applications.
There is a huge disclaimer though:
This is going to be like black tulips, furbys, and Bitcoin, I can feel it in my water. 
Haha these aren’t cheap tat though, I was really impressed with the quality when mine arrived.
I got in on the first batch aaaages ago and I recall this being the standard timeframe back then. I’d completely forgotten about it and one day a massive 
turned up 
People have actually sold them on eBay😂
I’ll sell you my octopus for £400
So I see
Oh wow they’re going for £20 - £30 
I’ll trade you a candy bar
It’s VERY expensive at the moment and has been for a while, although I’m still on target to be spending less than if on a fixed tariff. It’s only dropped below 0.10p per kWh once or twice in the last few months.
I’m on the verge of switching to Go Faster - Octopus allow you to switch every 30+ days between Agile, Go & Go Faster to ride the cheap-waves better.
I just ignore the peak time as much as possible and continue my life as normal. Looking at a comparison I would save more moving to Go, however I’m not bothered about the costs.
Hopefully the tech team will sort out whatever the double billing is 
So after all these years I’ve just discovered my dryer has a hold feature. Set it up to come on in the early hours when the electricity is cheap.
I’d been choosing the cheaper slots during the day for it and manually switching it on for the last month or so. At least I can set it now to set off going around the cheap night hours.
Saying that though, I’ll see in the morning if it’s worked. Untested feature right now.
Oh that’s good that it’s fixed at least. So far they tend to be on the ball when I email them.
I knew my washer had a delay but I rarely use that as it really does cost next to nothing for me to run it on its eco settings.
The dryer likes to eat electricity, so that’s a bonus that I actually discovered it today. The stupid manual doesn’t even mention it. I’d pressed something by mistake on the menu, and was like no there’s a timer to delay.
Received email from Octopus yesterday…
*We should adjust your monthly payments soon
*We think your monthly payments should be changed to £144.88, starting with your July payment
Started with £84 3 years ago…
I got a similar email, I sent them a message back saying no thanks. If I need to alter the amount I pay I’ll do that at my own leisure.
Currently my accounts in credit and no sign of it going into a negative balance anytime soon.
sadly leaving Octopus after the cheapest price for the next 12 months was a 50% increase in cost.
For the last few years, after referral credits, Octopus has been very good value for me, but prices have gone up a lot compared to other suppliers, and I’ve not seen a referral for 6 months +
Similar happened with mine. Apparently I used more last year so fell behind, so not only do I need to repay that but I have a new higher rate going forward too 
Been using Flipper for quite a while now.
Currently with Avro Energy - one of the smaller companies.
