Semi Retirement and Beyond.

Have had a lovely time this week looking after DGS , the weather of course has made it easier. 

I am in work Tuesday then off until the 12th June . Have my two night in Windermere next weekend, then home Sunday and flying out to Majorca Monday . I am incredibly fortunate to be able to do this. 

The RL situation we are in I think we are slowly getting used to , it just means I am super busy . Also had warning of something we expected as a family but didn't really want to believe was happening , but time moves on. I feel as though I am talking in riddles but can't say much on here . 

My fuel bill payment has been reduced by £16 down to £98 pm,  but going  to keep it at the original £114 .I have some credit already but want to build up more for this winter. 

Need to change phone provider now that plusnet mobile is going to EE. There sim only plans are far dearer than others on the market. Any recommendations for a piggybacking Vodafone provider welcome.

Hi if you are on plusnet why are you asking about piggybacking on vodafone?
However that said lebara is the standout nofrills provider.

Plusnet are going and Vodafone is a better signal in my area .

Well then lebara is likely to be a significant improvement. In fact many on mse would be on lebara if vodafone's signal was better in their area.
However for anyone on plusnet who needs an ee based network the obvious replacements are rwg/nowmobile or 1pmobile, who all offer better deals for most users than plusnet did.

Up early to do housework to get it out of the way. Need to go and put air in tyres and top up windscreen washer up in readiness for the week ahead. 

Doing a spot of childcare around lunchtime for DD . Then heading round to parents garden to wait for a phone call from them to pick them up , after being dropped off from their coach holiday down south. Yesterday was a NSD , hoping today will be as well.

I hope your mum and dad had a good time away. I love that they still enjoy their holidays travelling around together at their age. Won't be long now as well to your own two breaks!!!

Your parents are as bad as my mum!

Hope your parents enjoyed their holidays and that you enjoy yours. It has come around very quickly.
I'm pleased everyone is getting used to the new situation at home….at least it stops you getting bored 👍

Phone stuff - I am with EE in case you want a bargaining chip for EE when your plusnet account moves over. I currently get 10gb data a month, unlimited calls and texts and pay just over £10 a month now. (I know I can do better, but not better enough to make it good use of my time to do anything about it *right now*) It may also be that EE will honour Plusnet customer's deals, for a while at least?

MrEH is with Lebara for his second phone and has got on fine with them. He pays quite a lot less for that than I do for mine as I recall, but that's without much data.
