Hi curlgurl did you get your answers r.e smart meters ? I work for a utility company so if I can help feel free to give me a shout but the gist of smarts your current meters are exchanged for the smart ones and you given a little device for inside the home I think ours are about the size of an iPhone 4 lol , you can plug it in to charge up as they have rechargeable batteries, when smart meters are first installed any usage is high because it’s not used to any usage at all if that makes sense the top & bottom of smart meters is they send the reads to your supplier without the need of you interacting with the meter, but if your mobile signal depending on where you live isn’t good then your meters may remain dumb you will still need to give the reads HTH

Thanks for replying.

So the big chunky meters are removed from outside and replaced with new meters outside?
Do these still have a numerical dial?
Can the internal ones be placed anywhere?
Are they accurate?

When my gas meter was changed/updated about 6 years ago the gas boiler wouldn't work at all after and the meter man told me to get my own gas engineer out! :eek:
This problem puts me off getting them fitted/messed with again.

Sorry for the questions but I need to reduce my bills and at the moment the only better tariffs operate by smart meter.

Tia.

Blooming white stuff, grumble, grumble...

Went to B00ts, to use those offers before they expire.

Got O/B bodyspray, O/B toothpaste, O/B handwash, and Aspirin.

Spent 2.55 from giftcard, got 2.75 back in points.

75pts female deodorant/75pts dental/75pts for buying 2 toiletries plus Aspirin was only 30p and qualified as healthcare, so 50pts there.:D

I like freebies.:D

Nice shop Seren.
I will copy this tomorrow.
Thank you.

This was the very first shop reported by Lango. Not sure if it's still the same?
Hth.

Edit.
You'll have to do your homework on this one as it was v T and I think it was reported that T prices changed!

I was looking at the torres vina sol, and see only the white is confirmed. Has anyone bought the rose?
I know the rose is a little cheaper at A, but it should compare to M...shouldnt it?
Would it be best to get 4 white and 2 rose?...and experts opinion welcome, I could try this afternoon...thank you

No, not me

If I get there and this is dependant on OH and the weather - getting on and off that car park in a snow storm is dire - I will just get the 6

I will be annoyed though if the cashback items have vanished though
