    Sorry it is a struggle.  It took me a while too. You need the codes on the box and to do it in the right order.
    Bit you plug in first ie thing in house & then the bell? 
    It’s the bell I am having problems with. Sigh. 
    Thanks.

    It’s getting flipping dark at 5.30am in the mornings now too! 😳🙄 I will be using my torch 🔦 from tomorrow to move around the house first thing (I get up quite a bit earlier than Mr KK so have to creep around). 

    Not cold though, absolutely sweaty here in spite of a thunder storm and epic rain earlier… 🤷‍♀️

    Fixed rate 3.85% ends October 2030

    Sorry you've been unwell.  Hope you are on the mend now.  The nights (and mornings!) seem to be drawing in very quickly now.
