and it scans the current to register electricity use, and stores a profile by the day, week and month. I havent measured what devices use what yet eg hairdyers or hoovers or washing machines, but
one result,whether the meter shows the right pence per hour or not, is that boiling the kettle increases our background electricity use by a factor of 10. Perhaps we ought to boil water by gas.
Also I have been offered an interview, for a job I applied for online. I applied for two at the same place but have been offered the interview the less senior, which is a bugger, but who knows what it could lead to. It is an agency (at a regional level) which uses an immense amount of jargon and Acronyms, but I am sure I can learn it. I have have been to many of their meetings in the past. M is so happy she has got my shirts and ties out to check my appearance, a whole week before the event. If I got it, it would be a big change, but I need to get myself out a bit of a crisis of depression and confidence first.

Blimey Hutters...you should be a natural for the job...in fact all those years in local government should have left you over-qualified in jargon, acronyms and bullshit!
LMAO a change is as good as a rest! AFAIAC I am sure you'll be brilliant and quickly rise to the top of the pile IMHO.
I really NEED one of those meters - if I wasn't so tight I'd get one!
You can get that job Hutters! With a tie like that, a man of your calibre could rule the world :)
I need one of those meters to!
Well have a go at this job thing! Nice to know you are still wanted all round!
I got one of them meters for free off of Southern Electric. I believe EON dish 'em out freebie-stylee too, now. If you think the kettle is bad (we're now careful to only boil up what we need, not a whole kettleful every time) then wait til you see what happens when M irons your shirts for you. In fact, prolly best to iron your own shirts so that you can't read the meter whilst the iron is on.
Good luck for the interview matey! You'll KED and I'm sure you'll GOJF with the interviewers.
Oh, and print out a copy of your CV in blue paper and get a blue tie to go with your blue shirt. Seriously:

Blue makes you come across very well in interviews: cool, calm, collected, logical, capable, that kinda thang.
