You're not wrong there, I've been pulling my hair out with them since we were transferred to them from Avro energy when they went bust & they still cant get our meter readings right.

A months readings according to them equates to 6 months worth energy used

I take readings & pics of the actual readings of the leccy & gas meters at the end of every month for my records.

I've got the MG ZS on charge in the garage, Two big electric radiators going full blast, The washing machine is also on as is the tumble drier

The blinking light on the smart meter looks permanently lit as it's blinking so fast.

Ging got the new kettle . . . . I should have smelled a rat when said she’d order it. £179

All singing all dancing thing, beeps when you switch it on, beeps again when it goes off. You can preset the temperature anywhere between 50C and boiling depending on whether you are having some fancy tea or whatever. Be wary next time she volunteers to buy something.

But, do the tea taste better?

Don’t drink tea, used to drink gallons when I was on the railway. Doctors orders to drink as much coffee as I can now. I must admit making coffee at 90 degrees rather than boiling does make a difference . . . . not sure if the difference is worth 179 quid though!

Good morning everyone.

There is a cracking sunrise out there this morning.

Banana needs a wash.

Morning all,

A light frost is back with us today.....

Yesterday we ordered our new bathroom suite, fixtures and fittings. It is due to be fitted starting 7th March.

Got a bit of shopping to get this morning but other than that.....A quiet day planned!

Tomorrow I have a nice piece of gammon to make a Roast dinner with

My grandfather used to make tea from the engine of steam trains. He said that it gave him an iron constitution. From the rust stain in his mug, I think he was right!

Morning all, no nice sunrise here, it's very grey at the moment, more sorting out of rover stuff today for me, hopefully I'll be able to move around without falling over things.
