Utchiter it is!

Asda has cheap parking and the best charity shop in town opposite.

Toys R Us have gone bust, along with my favourite "Toy" shop Maplins.

Just looking at switching electric suppliers but I noticed something called a
Priority services register
There are about 30 different reasons someone might be on this list - worth taking a look as I can see several conditions suffered by Elite or their family.
Also a couple of temporary ones including
Post hospital recovery - thinking of Di confined to quarters when she eventually gets home

Not sure what this list is about but I imagine if there is a local loss of power they need to know who needs a priority service or if the metre reader is on his rounds he needs to know if someone is confined to their bed etc.

Anyway after managing to procrastinate about it for nearly 2 weeks I finally nailed myself to the chair and made myself sort out the electric supplier switch this morning - needless to say it was not as daunting as I though.

We are about to switch over to the standard rate with Scottish Power which is considerably more expensive than the fixed rate we have been on for the last year.

I did a metre reading to start with and then tried to do an overpayment using the Amex card but sadly that plan didn't work as they don't accept Amex :mad:

I had my annual figures with me and we are now with Eon again - it was only 3rd down the list behind one of the new companies and there is a small amount of cashback.

This is on the email they sent me - I think the decimal point is in the wrong place!

Existing Annual Spend: £12,345.33
New Estimated Annual Bill: £10,759.51
Approximate Savings: £1,585.81

You can only try, sometimes they will match it or better it.

Thanks. I tried their chat option, but they wouldn't budge. so looks like I'm changing car insurance provider.

its a good job you did say that. I rang them up and got it cancelled, I had the chap check my figures online and I had left it as monthly instead of annual
And then I started all over again and got a £170 a year saving - which is good enough.

We had been with Scottish Power for 3 years starting out at just £60 a month and now its £79 .... it slowly creeps up despite replacing old machines for energy efficient ones

Quick check in as I believe JTS was asking how I was getting on. Not great is the answer its all gone wrong and I need more surgery on Friday. Scared hubby to death they thought the op that ending up lasting 22 hours had caused brain damage because apparently I was just lying there staring into space.
I hope everyone is ok happy birthday Chelsea Fred I'm about to lose power as everything's lost its charge I cannot believe where the last five days have gone to. I'll need to ask a nurse to charge all my devices but they are so busy I don't like buzzing my buzzer.

All of that going on and you find the time to pop in and see all of us:A

Sending you my very best wishes for Friday and the speediest of recoveries
