Hope you have found the Energy Monitor useful Lurker. A lot of people have said it has helped them reduce their electricity usage. :beer:

Morning all!

I have much to do today as Mr Fresian returns from the Frozen North (Hurrah!!) He has taken himself off his brain pills while he's been away which should mean that he will be a bit happier too. I am very glad he's done this while he's away as it makes him cranky :rotfl:

So, before I go to work I need to:

* Do dishes
* Clear enough space in bedroom for him to be able to sit down :rotfl:
* Hang up washing
* Put more washing on
* Make bed (Ideally change bedclothes but I don't have enough time)

Maw and Paw Fresian are coming down this weekend too, as is my brother. I also have a night out on Saturday for my friends birthday. It's going to be a tiring weekend

In happy news - I got Mr Fresian a refund of the Credit Card Repayment Cover he has been paying since doing his last BT. He wasn't eligible for it this time round but it was left on an old card and he didn't know about it. One letter written by me, signed by him, and it was paid back onto his account. Hurrah! His balance is now under £1000 for the first time in years. Woo!

Brilliant news :j:T:j:T way to go - they never let you know when you have this stuff do they? I wonder how many millions are just sitting in banks unclaimed...

Hope everyone who watched GA had their tissues ready last night...

OH MY GOD!!! Did I ever?!

Just watched it this morning as I'm off sick full of cold and sore throat-ish and oh my god, how sad was that?!

Good grief, I think I may need counselling!
Nothing will ever be the same again!!

Poor George! That was a bit of a shocker!

Must admit I did expect a bit more to happen but the end with George in his uniform and Izzy in her pink dress did bring more than a tear or two to my eye. I wonder if one of them survives?

Noooooo, don't say anymore - I taped GA and haven't watched it yet! I did flick the channel and seen Izzy getting zapped but figured she would die anyway! Right off home soon to watch it before I find out anymore!

Hi F_F

I've just switched / am switching to EON from Scottish Gas.

So far it's been a dawdle and Quidco £70 is being paid this month. SG have been pains and offered me "substantially cheaper rates and £50 cashback after 12 months" if I stayed. I went and got the pack EON had sent and 3 of 4 rates quoted by SG as guaranteed cheaper were actually dearer. Pointed that out and he tried to money confuse me which soooooo didn't work, maths is one thing I do well, very well.

Got letter from SG yesterday asking for final readings as I couldn't move without. Phoned and gave readings and they then said they couldn't actually use them as they had to come from EON but now I was on the phone what would it take to make me stay?

Oddly enough nothing after that stunt. Wish I knew if they still had little usage monitors tho, I'd love one of them as I'm convinced we power the power station next door somehow.

We'll be quiet, haud our wheesh and generally zip it on the subject of GA until you watch.
