You can get some relatively cheap gauges, obviously they won’t turn the machine on/off for you but at least you will know when to run the dehumidifier.

We have a small de-humidifer, suitable for a single room. Used when my wife has to dry clothes indoors. We do not have a tumble dryer. I have to say the de-humidifer works brilliantly. Keep the doors closed in the 'drying room' to contain the humidity. Keep some heat in the room to assist quick drying and the clothes dry surprisingly quick. When you see the amount of water taken out of the air ! Well . . It's like the 1st time you run a newly purchased Dyson Vac over what you thought was a clean carpet !

We're back to using a de-humidifier for drying - we've bought a new one (old one now in garage as the buttons won't let you adjust humidity) - just got to get daughter off using the dryer - cycling kit currently on the 'airer' in the conservatory where I'm working, with the de-humidifier on. Looks like Widow Twanky's laundry - just hope there are no Team's calls today.We have a small de-humidifer, suitable for a single room. Used when my wife has to dry clothes indoors.

I was trying to elicit a witty, funny response. It fell on 'stoney ground' didn't it ? . . . . . Let me guess . . . . Yes.

Martin Lewis said to take a meter reading today as the new tariffs come in effect tomorrow but on the Octopus Energy website they are saying the best time is Saturday the 2nd of april because their tariff doesn't change until 00.00 on Saturday.
Do you know what your energy providers are saying?

Yes I read that, just done it, but the EDF website was "experiencing problems" i.e. can't cope becasue everyone is doing the same, I managed to get my readings in though

The older I get, the faster I used to be ...
Heard nothing about those of us on fixed deals - I assume our prices won't go up until the end of our existing contracts - September in my case?

Correct.
I just need to get the gas reading - and latest elec, but I've been seeing that the 'hot tub' really is expensive to run. Saving a fortune turning the water temp right down, then ONLY putting it on if you are going to use it takes all day to heat, but then the cost is just £2-3 per use (heat half a day then off), not £5 a day.
Scottish Power website is down.

People on fixed deals or using a smart meter don;t have to do anything
The fixed deal people don;t get any increase during their contract term
and the smart meter people - assuming the thing is working - send reading automatically
as of a week or so ago - I am in both categories
I do wonder if my smart meter was 'undumbed' just before the price rise (for some) so that they could enforce accuracy and prevent people adding a bit onto the reading in the hope of getting some energy at the lower price after the change date
