    We'll be taking part here, so I'm hoping my laptop will be ok without power for an hour so I can finish work.  :D

    It's definitely worth taking part if you're with Octopus Energy.

    Really enjoyed the last one, Managed to get 1420 Octopoints so this one should be even more as it’s a higher reward and an extra half hour

    I love this! I opted into every savings session last year and kept all my octopoints until the end. When I converted them I had £71 credit added to my account.

    It’s best to sign up the day before as the server gets flooded with requests on the day of the session

    That's the basics of it yes.  We Often do it.  it's quite fun looking down the street to see who else is taking part.

    Sort of, you gain Octopoints which can be converted into cash for lowering your electricity usage during the session, Sessions can be anything from 1 to 3 hours, You also have a chance of winning £1111 credited to your account(Every session) and random prizes.
    Anyone signed up to the program also gets free electricity when the green energy generation is at a peak.
    The more you lower your electricity use the more points you gain. Last year I managed to get £127 credit to my account simply by doing the Saver Sessions.
    Most sessions are announced the day prior but they also do random ones(you only know by checking the app each morning for an unplanned one) which are worth considerably more points.

    I think it’s fun to take part to see how much energy you save. My daughter and myself sit in the dark with nothing on for the whole time. It really does make you think about how much energy you would usually use. 
    I would appreciate it if members wouldn't tag me please. I have all notifcations turned off and wouldn't want a member thinking i'm being rude by not replying.
    If i see a question that i know the answer to i will try my best to help.

    I like using the time to listen to an audiobook or attempt some meditation. :)

    We just swap to Battery backup so power wise nothing really changes but we get lots of Octopoints!

    I don't use the PC in the dark, it is apparently bad for ones eyes. The cost of running a single LED bulb to light a room well outweighs the cost of rectifying any damage to my eyes!!!!

    I enjoy the sessions as well, though. I am looking forward to today's one.

    I have my blue light glasses and an LED keyboard, so it's not fully working in the dark, I can still see what I'm doing. :)
