How to optimise Power Move Flex on a weekday

Our current trials are now closed, and we'd like to thank our users for their participation.
My first opportunity to play Power Move Flex from 2-3pm today Thursday and I can’t quite recall if that’s the one where 1; I get free electricity, or 2; an incentive if I use more juice for an hour… or is it less (3)? I assume it’s not 4; gas which is a relief as the thought of turning on the gas central heating in this heatewave is already making me sweat! So, on the assumption it’s 1 or 2, I guess the tactic is the same; burn through as much power as possible? My only problem is that we don’t have a tumble dryer, preferring a washing line in the yard, and I did our weekly 30o washing machine load yesterday; and a full dishwasher load overnight…? So how can we burn more juice this afternoon? Ideas welcome. We had planned a salad tonight, but if I dig that chicken (planned for Sunday lunch) out of the freezer, and roast it on warp speed from 2-3pm, it’ll hopefully still be edible this weekend? Obviously I could turn all the lights on, although that seems odd in the middle of the dsy. And if I turn on the television in the bedroom and the spare set in the utility room as well as the main one in the lounge…. Oh and the radio. I can probably do my neighbour’s washing for them if I ask nicely; maybe even load the dishwasher if they and the neighbours on the other side have some dirty dishes…. And charge my Fitbit…Anyone got any better ideas? Gotta burn more power?
