is this the post, by smart1eYou not the only one who forgets. :rotfl:
I remember someone having trouble with their water meter and water board going on monday to check.
I would love to know how they went on.
So if you reading this hope everything went ok.This is a first for me as I never really share my worries so please bear with me:o
I had a letter today from Welsh Water saying here is your bill and btw we notice your water consumption has significantly increased:eek:...kind of 3 or 4 times what I use, I am on a meter.
Checked the reading and not only was it right but it's also gone up by 10 units,I think it's 10 cubic metres of water in 1 week since it was read:eek:...there are not enough :eek: for this.
The letter says we are sending an inspector round, job number but no time or date so I rang them up...after some faffing the girl seems really cheerful and kind and said it could be a fault with the meter but the inspector will tell you more. I am so worried that it won't be that simple because pretty much everything else involves me paying to fix it and I can't afford that:( I can't see any obvious leaks anywhere but the mud which is under the meter below the pavement is quite wet but I can't see anything leaking and that could be rain although it hasn't rained for 4 or 5 days.
I'm praying to God that the meter is at fault but I am really worried this will be my problem and not theirs, also how the hell will the bill be sorted out?
Have any of you had anything like this before? As I said I usually keep my worries to myself but we are a helpful bunch on here so I feel better already!:T Any advice appreciated....TIA!
Sorry for long post too!0 -

You could always make a posh one like this;)

I like making cocktail kebabs!
Cubes of feta wrapped in ham, slide onto a cocktail stick, top with a stuffed olive or cherry tomato.:A Every moment is a gift. That's why we call it the present.!:A

Evening all!
Huge congratulations Karlie :T:T:T:T:T:T:T
Went to T's today with a huge list and came away with absolutely nothing :mad: The Vaseline gift sets scanned at £6. Couple of out of date SELs on printers but scanned correctly! No 1p anythings! And no bicarbonate of soda for making flapjacks
I can't remember who posted a few days ago about how to get pink out of white clothes?? Washed DH's jumper and it has turned pink
I e-mailed the company as it was the red in the jumper that ran. They are giving a refund but I thought I might try to rescue it. TIA x A bargain is something you don't need at a price you can't resist0 -

now there is BAD news for me today
:(:(
my bike has been stolen!!!
:(:( who'd think a bike is safer in Acton then Kensington! :eek: called the council but it wasn't them 
all the trouble with getting the lock off for nothing...
And the most annoying thing was I have found the bl00dy keys this morning! :mad: 
it soo wasn't my day
and when I came home I got a message from my mum that she broke her arm/wrist :eek: !!!!!!?
ehh... off to print some stuff for my exams(hope the bad luck doesn't continue over the weekend!:eek:) I'm so not ready for the most difficult one but hope I will pass somehow like I usually do
hope to see HC back really soon :T
sounds like one of my days at the moment. ((hugs)) Hope they find your bike but in a place like london, I think its unlikely.0
