The household legal cover covers for lots of things.  My DH was misdiagnosed and subsequently died, I’ve a 29 page nhs report explaining where it went wrong (dr not following protocol, then system error (now been changed) then radiographer reporting error) my house legal cover is covering legal costs for this. 

Wow, that’s awful @dawnybabes. So sorry to hear this.

Morning MSE chums.

Hope you're all good. I slept surprisingly well last night, although I woke early (didn't actually get up early, mind you).

Nothing much money related happening today, although it is of course Monday Finances day, so I might do a bit of shuffling later if I get chance.

Did anyone see this??

😂😂 made me laugh and laugh - I definitely wouldn't have lost my power cut cheque if it had been for this much! 😂😂

Yes, I saw that and thought of you (bring the only person I know to have received one!). What were they complaining about? I’d have been straight down to the bank to pay it in! 😂

Ditto  except I think I'd have framed it to hang over the desk

I saw that cheque on Twitter - someone's head will be rolling at Northern PowerGrid I suspect! Oops! Oddly enough my first thought when I saw it was "Cheery wouldn't have lost THAT one!" too!

When I heard about the cheque my first thought was of Cheery 😊

@dawnybabes.
Dire. One mistake bad enough but two & then three 
So very sorry.

Another here that thought of you Cheery when I saw that article online. I had a good old giggle at it too,

Cheery, I hope your tum is more settled today. Yes, I thought of you when I heard about the cheque too  

When we lived in a different part of the conurbation, we paid a water bill to one company and then the sewage bill to another. Since we moved here we are back to one bill. Our water is metered, it is compulsory whenever a property is bought/sold here. I'm afraid I can't tell you what we pay as Mr hb deals with that; we are not heavy users, particularly as neither of us have baths ( we do have a bath here, unlike our previous house, but it is years since I was able to get in and out of one!). The info about grey water etc is interesting but there is no way we can take advantage of it down here in our basement flat.

Just coming in late with another water post - just paid our bill for 6.5 months (they send 2 a year but the split is not even) @ £440... ouch!
