We knew or were waiitng to here the outcome of new rate increases from Jan 1 , so for the short term prices are or may appear to be as they were.
Prices of the electricity we use to charge

With it being just after Christmas, all the unrest at present and it being the cold weather peak, they may be holding off the really big increase until the planned April 1st rise. The weather should be milder then so less likely to cause as much harm.
.
And the gov price cap - mine will go up 1% ish and taken as a year pay on receipt of bill will go up £260 - Ludacris out stripping prepay as most expensive!
Pardon my curiosity, but how many Kw/h does your meter show you using per day?

The average monthly mortgage bill will go up from £750 to £1,000, the Bank of England says.

Yes please do, because you can't possibly be using 12.2kwh a day (at my unit rate, and zero standing charge assumed). They must be shafting you some way or other? Or more than usual.

Just received the same notificationfrom Bulb, who of course will be merging into Octopus:
"We're increasing our electricity unit rate from 35.314p to 35.400p per kWh and we're keeping our electricity standing charge the same at 42.678p per day."
So many of them are operating as a cartel, sort of industry standard prices.
Plus this:
Just to warn you, we're expecting prices to increase in April
- On 1 April the government's Energy Price Guarantee will be increasing to an average of £3,000 per year, which is £500 more per year for a typical household.

May have to pause on that for a few days, as my washer decided to have a door malfunction so I won't be using the dryer much more than a few towels a day. However I will take pics of the reading from today to compare normal daily dryer and min dryer usage. I assume this is the reading we are looking at, to confirm...
9:30 am so I take another tomorrow
Looking at plotted spikes on a spreadsheet line graph, is a good way to alarm oneself. All of my meter readings going back years, are on a spreadsheet.
I was a tad busy today and forgot the reading but will try harder tomorrow - but working it out. with my other half not working atm - 2xPC one on 16hrs and mine 6hrs, GPU usage for 2 hours each gaming then netflix etc. Dryer 3x loads a day, oven 1-2x a day, fridge small freezer, heating 7hrs+ constant due to low heat retention, lights etc I would say £5.50 per day + stnding charge is about right, Summer different story I only watch netfilx at night & dryer on the line.
Microswitch or dirt in the door catch mechanism possibly - a couple of slams clears that error on my washer, it hasn't been the microswitch yet, and I've kept my cheapo Haier washer working from new since 2008.
I got a decent indesit & pay £4.00 per month for a warranty, I get that back in call outs and parts, the darn thing keeps packing up every 4-6 months, although this is the first time the doors faulted, they still won't give me a voucher for a new washer - I got it in 2015. The warranty has been worth it tbf it's the same washer but it had 3 new drums, 2 new heating elements, one door seal & one blockage cleared, kind of sounds like Triggers broom he had for years.
I once found my washing machine bouncing around my kitchen, after it had bounced itself out from under the counter, obvs load was too heavy lol. I eventually managed to get close enough to switch it off at the plug. It worked fine, but then one day there was a loud bang when starting a spin cycle... and it seemed dead. I couldn't find the fault, looked at the pumps, microswitches, drum, bearings, changed the control board (£12 on ebay) and eventually discovered that a wire had frayed and exposed from it's bouncing episode, and that this had shorted on the washer's steel body when the spin started. Connected that back up, and that's all - working since 2008. All the engineers I consulted wanted £50 for a callout plus parts and labour. Sod that. They also said it'd be cheaper to buy a new one, rather than get it repaired. And it was a gift from the water company (long story), so it's only cost me £12 (spare control board) plus a 60p 13A connector block = £12.60 in total.
I avoid payments automatically leaving my bank account like the plague - companies find subscriptions useful, and I'm not convinced any will save me money. I've never bought extra warranty for anything. Many devices seem to work for about three years, I attempt repairs when they inevitably die.

Ooh if it dances around the kitchen again, YT it or sell tickets.
I only have two DD and I know when & how much every month.
There were extremely loud banging noises coming from the kitchen - it felt like some sort a seismic event was taking place... the living room floor was shaking with every thud. Like I said, it took me a while to get close enough to the plug to switch it off, so I could have shot a video and will certainly do so next time. Concrete floor held up, I think, but there may be a crack or two under the vinyl tiles...
Maybe it contains a secret smellometer and is sending back data about what washing powders you use, how much and how often ... and also compiling details about your BO to sell to the Chinese, so they know what crops to burn and animals to kill first when they invade, for the greatest population disrupting effect? If insecure, it could also reveal to burglars if you are out. And out of washing powder.my washing machine has wifi
oh they want to sell me more crap via there app and sell my usage data
