Morning all .
It’s snowing well now here in Coventry . We were going to the working party at the sailing club this morning , but it got cancelled thank goodness. I have got all the gear to stay warm and dry but it still wouldn’t have been much fun with the wind chill .
Weather looking a little better for tomorrow ( no rain or snow and less wind ) . Fingers crossed for sailing .

So you'll be imitating a hamster later.

I did! God I hate indoor exercise. Managed an hour gradually increasing the resistance until the heart rate was around 140 then eased off to finish. I always forget to take a towel so was dripping 😓

Morning folks and Mo the hamster my roof survived thank goodness, much as it would be pleasant to see the stars directly above my settee..it could have got a tad chilly...
Its white n bright out so its a crunchy walk along the sea today

Good morning, bright and very windy here. I'm totally lacking in motivation so need to get moving some how or other.

@Dirk you have someone who pops round to ring the doorbell to let you know there's a power cut? Very neighbourly.

Yesterday I advised the club ride group to use a main road diversion as I knew the usual lane is covered in mud and dangerous. One of them has just sent an update on the diversion!!

Hope you get things back in order.

I cent wait to get my pension.

Your waiting to get your pension I thought it was a requirement before appearing on this site

Right!
Wheelie bin retrieved from 100yds down the road.
Roof inspected and it's an end ridge tile that's gone - mortar still intact, so it shouldn't leak - should be an easy fix.
Fence on one side propped up.
Walked around bungalow and the fence on the other side has gone completely!
Still blowing a hoolie out there, so not much more can be done at the moment.

Just paid my water bill online. £87.00 for 6 months. How exciting is that

Just had an email from my new energy supplier Octopus Energy. The transfer over from Avro has completed and I am £420 in credit. I've not set up a DD yet, I think I'll run the balance down a bit first.
Overall very impressed with the way that Octopus have handled this, with clear and informative emails throughout the process.

I am with Bulb and they are now in administration I was impressed with them and the easy website and how could change the amount I paid each monthly myself. I hope they manage to recover. If not then I will try them.

I've been with SSE for ever. Doubt they are the cheapest, but when you have storage heaters, I think you can be a bit restricted as to who offers the Economy 7 tariff or whatever it's called. Which reminds me, I better send in a reading as I don't think the meter readers are back yet.

I have economy 7 heaters as well. Our old ones were taken out and replaced by new ones around 18 months ago. These new ones are crap compared to the old ones . I never use them now as I could get more heat from a bloomin candle.
