MG - The Matrix Re-wired

Motivation is so low today, need some help on the other side if anyone's around and feels more inspired than I do!

OK - £10 off £30 spend came in for previous owners who left at least 6 yrs ago & we bought deals - but I'm happy :T

Hmmm I just rang BT, offered to leave, and they lobbed £18 off my monthly bill and upgraded me from normal broadband to BT Infinity....!

Well done TMIF. Just about time that I tickled Talk Talk again I suppose.

I made crespolini for dinner - took photos for the blog and then settled down to eat dinner thinking it was scheduled for 8pm and I have plenty time to add in the photos - nope, guess who can't use a 24 hour clock LOL.

So post went out without photos - so a quick cut n paste job later ...............

..........they were fabulous though, absolutely nothing left but the pattern on the plate.

The one time I tried that with talktalk, they cut off my BB... I said I've been thinking of leaving, what can you do to persuade me to stay. He said nothing. The next day my BB was dead!

Okay - wont say a thing in that case LOL

Time to cast around and see if there is anything cheaper I suppose, but Shhh!!! don't tell them. I had enough problems getting the line in.

We are now hitched to the national grid with our solar panels!! All up and running by 4.30pm and made about 0.7 of a kilowatt thing before light faded:rotfl::rotfl:OH very happy as he can spend hours now checking the meters in the shed. We now have to change the way we use the electric - DW WM etc during the day. As we are working I guess this will only happen at weekends and school hols. Going to get a timer switch for DW and WM and the slow cooker will come into its own

Busy day but good too - tired now but going to go out for a walk after scoffing second pancake of the day. Got to pull a late one tonight re-doing paperwork for boss who has lost it but most of it is just typing stuff up so can be done in front of the box when I get bored later on.

Have booked a group in to work with class on rationing linked into food wastage. We are getting local old dears in and making all manner of things from the humble spud - including potato nutella! which I am VERY dubious about! I mentioned 'rubber chicken' during the planning meeting and everyone was :eek: Good job I didn't start going on about MG's armageddon store cupboard or they would have locked me up. I obviously now have more in common with MSE than the educational establishment:cool:

What are you saying - like????:rotfl::rotfl:

You think the Armageddon Cupboard is bad - you should see the list of stuff I plan on "preserving" this year:D

I've got a plan to re-jig all my Gran's recipes so that I can make just a pot or two at a time instead of the dozen or two dozen her notebook suggests. I mean does any family actually "need" 24 jars of HM strawberry jam?

But with the family being, what I can only describe as "of the mongrel persuasion" I have family stuff that's Polish, Jewish, Norwegian, Swedish, German, Dutch and South African - so there's a pretty wide selection of stuff to jam, jelly, conserve, preserve, pickle, brine and salt.

Now THAT is an OS hobby :rotfl::rotfl:
