    Has anyone used Pure Pl4net for their energy? They are coming out cheapest on the comparisons, but variable tariff rather than fixed (no exit penalty though) - I really should have sorted this :eek:.

    Another alternative is P0wershop bit that is more difficult to work out as it is not a standard tariff - more buying packs of energy.

    Many thanks

  • We are thinking about moving house when OH retires, partly to get away from any clients that know our address and partly to go into a bungalow, we watch his mum now, not wanting to move but struggling with stairs, she refuses a stairlift though!

    Problem is, we have lived here more than 33 years, the stuff we have accumulated is ridiculous, though we have started on the attic.
    What is this life if, full of care, we have no time to stand and stare

    My in-laws talk about moving and then remember their attic is full.

    I am starting to thin k the shopimmums system is the best idea, whereby you also scan the packs barcode actually in the supermarket and then you know for sure that its the correct product, even before you go through the till


    Yes I should have done that, but I forgot to take my phone with me! :o

    Except that mine says on the front

    6 pains au lait

    which fits neither of those pictures

  • After all that, I bought the wrong Divine! Mine is a 40g bar rather than 35g. Drat!

    Not the wrong one at all. Weight depends on flavour purchased, some are 35, some are 40, both are correct regardless of the app stating they are all 35.

    All my 35/40 are confirmed.

    I am wondering if Divine have downsized their bars and what you got was one of the old versions -
    I would still email them with a picture -
    nobody would normally notice a 5g difference

    I am hoping that my W stocks them - tried 2 Co-ops around here but nobody stocks them

    6 pains au lait

    or
    Pain au lait as NOT on COS ;)
