The Retirement Thread

[Paulus]

Good morning all.
Sainsburys are delivering the weekly goodies between 9 and 10 am, and then the oven repair person is due to appear between 10.30 and 13.30. I'm hoping they can do something as the bulb in the main fan oven blew last week. I took the glass cover off and unscrewed the bulb, but, the glass bulb separated from the screw bit which is still in the bulb holder and as it is in the back corner at the top it is not easy to see what you are doing, well for me anyway.
Other than that I'll be messing about in the garden doing bits and bobs. No bike riding today.

Good morning from a mild grey Dorset. Tuesday walking group and bin day today. I have just received an Email from Octopus energy with an estimate of how much the July price cap adjustment would affect our bill. Standing charge down ( a fraction of a penny) hooray! Cost per unit of gas up a couple of pennies- Boo!
Predicted annual gas cost post July £800+.
They seem to have forgotten that we had the gas disconnected last July and are now all electric 🤔

Funny, our oven lamp went a couple of weeks ago. Luckily I could unscrew ours and sourced a replacement from QD of all places for £1.50 for 2. If the glass is broken you need a pair of long nose pliers. Why do they put the bulb so far back in the oven ? Hope you get is sorted.
