.... Smart meter? Well, why does the Gas one report 3 x the amount of gas per day more than the old meter? Is a bit fishy I think. I have daily records going back 2 years so my usage is pretty consistent. I need to keep a close eye on this. :rolleyes:

Just over 24,000 miles so far. 1990 2000 4.6 Thor. :D

Morning All. :D Nothing of note to report. :) Have a super Saturday. :D

Morning All. :D Off to see a soli about the bad BIL this morning. We want to know what sort of LPA they set up, whether it is Joint or Joint & Several. Have a fantastic Friday! :D

My wife hates housework. Which is why I do all the deep-cleaning of things like the bathrooms and the cooker etc. I can't stand to see accumulated grime, really p's me off. Why pay good money for things and just let them go to carp?

Sat here with the log-burner toasty, a few lights on and the heating has been run for an hour to warm her bathroom. The home display says combined gas & electric 22.15Kwh and a cost of £2.42. This is VERY Suspect. My excel spreadsheet with over 2 years of data (and proven against the billing)...

...that the dreaded "Smart Meters" have been installed today. The little "In Home Display" tells me that I am using 600w and it will cost 15p/hour at this rate. I wonder how accurate the "shunt" is?

We (esp me) mean no offense, it is just a gentle bit of ribbing. :) We all have "little jobs" that seem to balloon into full on "projects". We just keep quiet and carry on. ;)

Morning All. :D Mild and not raining. :) Man coming to replace the meters today. :( Have a thriving Thursday! :D

Well..... We are talking Mr. Walking disaster here are we not? ;)

...online retailer has e-mailed with exciting news!!! Our new dining room chairs (qty(1)?) are being delivered next week to an address that is a total mish-mash of our actual address. It is all a bit off-putting because the Qty (1) should say Set of 4 chairs qty(1). They have swapped the town...

After yesterday's Ophthalmologist appointment and the emptying of my wallet I came home and ordered some "readers". Opticianista fella recommended I get some +2.75 readers for working at my PC etc. I bought a pair from an online shop yesterday PM. They arrived this morning by post. Ruddy...

DWP were on to him some years ago and took away ALL his "disability" benefits. :D No more new/free Motability car every 3 years, no cash, no free dentistry etc. etc. Apparently living in the real world came as a shock to him. He is a typical narcissist. It's all been "done to him" and he is a...

It seems the "monster vehicle" in question has not been properly identified. The other "nice" BIL says it is a big Nissan 5Litre SUV (e.g. Infinity). Others who have seen it are saying it is a "Van/RV" and that he seems to be living out of it. As the little git won't dare show his face here...

The scandal of the misbehaving brother-in-law deepens: The 12k he screwed out of the old gal was 6K for a Nissan RV (he told her 10k but took 12k) and 6k to put in his pocket and to run said RV until that money runs out (then, we suspect he will be back to her for more). He has visited his...

Didn't giggle/snigger, no indeed, not once. Actually it was more than twice. ;) Glad to hear that you have things back under control and your meds are working. :D

.... I just checked. That old Tratter of mine is still on the road. First registered in 1988, it is now only 4 years away from being exempt. :D

...that my missus has unearthed a photo of my old "Tratter". :D

Painter has painted the wall. ...and unfortunately the "spray" got carried by the wind a blew "round the corner" and all over the windows of the downstairs bay and his car and my wife's car. Oops! :(
