Reckon they're stuck on something, this happened with one of the earlier ones, was some meters they had issues with.

I'll exchange them for some of your Solar excess in the summer.

I don't know if I should cash them in. I feel in the future the points might be more valuable when used to purchase something else. Do you remember the Esso petrol station vouchers?

HungryHippos · 7 Feb 2023 at 22:19

Feeding time for the hamsters I reckon.

Didn't do that well the last session only 3000 points. But I've amassed over £40 now.
