    Our loft is blissfully empty at the moment as we have not purchased a loft ladder! 

    The former owners took theirs when they went which is mildly irritating as it means everything that should be stored up in the roofspace is currently stored in the second bedroom! - On the list of home improvements, but for now c'est la vie!

    I would have thought a loft ladder was a fixture & fitting.  I bet they removed the light bulbs too.

    @badmemory - should have been - they also took the spike for the cloths airer but left us a gawd awful orange settee and all the lower limbs of our cherry tree in a nice big pile. :D

    We're £1.62 DOWN on agile over the last month 🙄 But we don't do anything overnight, and as much as I'm trying to batch cook on weekend mornings, we do occasionally cook in the evening. I'm hoping things will work out more evenly over the year!

    I'm £15 up vs the Nov fix or SVR. and my use for the year down 20% compared to last year despite being away less this year. I'm quite impressed that Octopus have noticed that my use is down too, the estimated annual usage on the bill has been roughly what it is for about 6 months, and what I'd guestimated it would remain rather than last years figures
