    SuzeQStan — MoneySavingExpert Forum - originally it was set up for the wrong area (this time last year) but now just seems to have given up communicating!  It did respond to a 'ping' from them but didn't give them any data.  It seems ridiculous that they don't seem that bothered that they aren't getting any information but there we go ...

    Ah that sounds familiar too - prior to discovering 🐙 had recorded the wrong mpan number, they came out on one of their repeat visits and refused to set us up with a mobile signal booster aerial as we are based in the north but we insisted on it and they did cave in. 

     Pointless in the end because it turned out to be something else - but worth repeating here in case they might have refused the aerial to you as well @MikeyPGT?

    The heating is on as it feels very chilly. I just got my thick cardigan out and my blanket to put on my lap.

    Its a chilly 5degC outside but I have taken a chance on the sunshine with 2 loads of washing. Of course I'll have to finish them off indoors which will involve either flicking that heating switch / failing that, the Dri Buddi - but that won't be until after 4pm.

    Its going to feel like minus 4 at 5am and it is about 0 degrees atm. I will not be turning the heating off tonight whether I can afford it or not. If it feels like minus 4 outside in the morning, I want my heating to be on already when I wake up
