Aha - thanks. That's why I couldn't find it - no description!
I end up watching YT videos via 5 or 6 different sites, as well as YT's own suggestions, so it is hard to remember where they came from.

House next door has two registered owners, neither the people that live there having bought it.
Not entirely certain I feel like telling then either.

It's possible the two registered owners are "tenants in common" meaning each party owns a part of the property. This is how my wife and own our house, 50/50.

One is a housing association, the other last person to own it, and she moved out many years ago.

I believe it's possible to have shared ownership between a housing association and a private individual. I'm unsure of the details but thinks it's one of methods used to assist younger people in house purchase. How long this has been running for I don't know.

One up for sale here just now for a quarter ownership.
Morning. Back to mild but damp and breezy.
I finally succumbed to temptation and bought an apple watch to play with.
Just arrived yesterday afternoon. I currently have it on my left wrist and my Garmin on my right. Lol. I do like my gadgets. Sadly not doing much for climate change! Battery life on them is dismal compared to the garmin but I’ll get into the routine of sticking it on charge every tea time when I’m watching tv between 4.30 and 6 when I’m inactive anyway. Just did a mini ecg and I am in sinus rhythm and no sign of atrial fibrillation .

Good morning.
It's nice to wake up to good news. Mo is in sinus rhythm and has no arterial fibrillation. Excellent.
So today? Nothing much on this morning. It's a village clean up day and I'll pop along to offer advice. Yes, really. The footie means I can't get stuck in but I know advice on how to maintain a particular area has been asked for.
And yes it's footie this afternoon. I do hope it's less painful than Wednesday's 7-0 defeat. This evening a small bonfire party and celebrating a friend's birthday.
Now British Gas. My energy supplier, People's Energy, went bust and we've been transferred to BG. This is painful. BG have requested meter readings and sent a link to do this.the link doesn't work. After failing to find a facility to submit meter readings on the web and in the app I went on to online chat. After a lot of palaver with the online chat agents and getting nowhere I made a complaint via the chat. During the complaints process I was told:
" you can't submit meter readings online until your account is set up."
"Errrr well OK but I can see my account"
"Yes, but we need you to submit meter readings to complete set up"
"How do I do this?"
"I'll send you the link"
The link doesn't work because "your account set up isn't complete. Please submit a meter reading to complete setup"
Oh and then I get the email telling me because I have smart meters "you'll never need to send us a meter reading." Yep, I have smart meters but they have never worked!!
I'm planning to switch as soon as I've got a working account to switch away from. Geez it's hard work.
The final wind up was I asked to set up a Direct Debit. This showed on my account within an hour!!!

Hello the house.
I could (maybe should) have stayed in bed but I enjoy SoTS at 0600.
Just 2 things to do.......
1. Post my pension claim by recorded delivery.
2. Go to the pub and book a table for Wednesday lunch. 2 course lunch**, cabaret and a game of bingo for £5.50.
**small courses which suits us at the moment.

Good morning all, long night last night, despite a pair of Ibuprofen before I went to bed both hips were grumbling in the night, I think a nap will be in order later, my Good Ladies regular carer is of this weekend and we've had a different one today, she's been before and is very pleasant, ironing this morning then wheelchair repairs this afternoon. I notice that the Autumn internationals have started but they're not on normal telly, Amazon Prime only.
