Get a grip woman!

Energy companies & being transparent are a contradiction in terms.  Their bills appear to be deliberately confusing unless your maths is up to the task, which fortunately mine is.  By April I am expecting my DD to go UP 140% since last September.  To repeat that is up by not up to.  So £142 to £335.  So my choices, cough up, make my son reduce his shower time & risk his MH getting worse or reduce the heating which will reduce my mobility.  So cough up it is.  I really can't risk either of the other 2 outcomes. 

As we are living on his PIP & my state pension which is going up by a massive 3.1%, thank goodness I have savings & offer up at the very least my sympathies to those who do not have any savings to cover them.  I thought the 2 covid years were bad for people but it is now going into the realms of the unbelievable.

oh bad memory *hugs*
I warned my housemate when our electric provider went up the swanny in Sept that i'd need to put the rent up & got the response "oh but i'm really short after best friends wedding and my holiday" [where's the rolling eyes smilie when you need it], i've held off for now as it took so long to get the SoLR transfer sorted (still not fully complete) & could then see where things are going & know there will be a not insignificant council tax rise in April too so may as well factor it all in in one go with as much complete info rather than speculation.

Mine seems to have completed midnight Friday & thankfully is showing the balance including the amount they took by DD AFTER they went kaput.  Talk about relief, although I still appear to have 22 days of standing charge from 3rd wk Sept to 2nd wk of Oct charged on both suppliers.  We will see!!

Gosh, I suppose the increased volume of customers being taken on must be accounting for the delays. Guessing incompatible IT systems will mean the potential for human errors.

Mine took three months until I heard from the new supplier and then another month before they took my DD but the credit came through without me needing to intervene.

My failed supplier was Yorkshire Energy in December 2020 and the replacement allocated were Scottish Power. Except for the refund of my December buffer in October (after 6 months with them) I have no complaints so far.

Eek, a week since I posted on my own thread! The Doctor is due to ring me this morning to discuss the results of the "routine" procedure I had. That is never good in my view. DH says if it was urgent she would have phoned last week. My sub-conscious doesn't agree and I am sitting here with a nasty tight feeling in the pit of my stomach.

Hope the phone call is routine Suffolk Lass and you don't have to wait too long.

Hugs.   You will know soon

I hope the GP rings soon.  Nothing I can say will stop you worrying but if there was anything really major they would have spotted it during the procedure itself.

It may just be something to keep an eye on, rather than anything awful - it could be lots of things. Try not to panic. Easier said than done though, I know.

They found polyps (they also found and removed one in the first gynae procedure). I had a couple removed four years ago and this was the (delayed) recall. I am hoping she is going to say I am pre-disposed to polyps and therefore they will keep me in the system and nothing more. They didn't think there was anything awful in the ones they removed but now they have been through histology so my dread is that they are the "wrong sort" of polyp and cancerous or pre-cancerous. There, I've said it.
