I've now completed the checking up to 20 Nov:
mid-Mar '18: -430 seconds
mid-Jun '18: -480s
20 Nov '18: -436s

The substantial slow down between Dec '17 and Mar '18 reflects what posters said here about a slow down in early 2018! It means SEVEN minutes has been lost since 2016 and hasn't been made up.

The table below shows an extract of what I've done. There should be 1,000,000 seconds between each of the dates below. The column on the right shows how many seconds passed based on grid frequency.

This assumes 50.00Hz for 1 second = 1 second, so 49.9Hz for 1 second = 0.998 seconds.

Is my calculating correct?
