The Retirement Thread

[Tenkaykev]

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.

Yes, I see an option to pay each bill as it arrives, and change your DD. IF you did decide to try them they have an incentive scheme were if someone refers you then you each get £50

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.

SSE have just informed me that I’m now part of the OVO family. They’ve also combined gas and electricity into one bill. And they’ve told me I need do bugger all re the changeover. So that’s all ok as far as I’m concerned.
I've no clue why this has happened, so if anyone cares to enlighten me………!!

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.

I honestly don't mind them. I always leave my room doors open so the hall one is up high and the living room is just at low and I'm quite cosy. There's one in the biggest bedroom too but still never switched it on. Just the panel ones in the two smaller bedrooms but they're never on either.

We only have 2. One in the living room and the other in the small bedroom. We used to have one in our bedroom but took it out ourselves as we never used it.

I say I say I do believe the central heating is coming on.Well I don't care,I prepared for a cold house this morning.Tee shirt,polo shirt,jumper,light fleece and a bobble hat,then a car blanket over my legs.I am real toasty.

The wind has abated, still blowing though, the snow continued falling and has left around an inch of snow on the ground. The electric has been on as often as off this morning.

There's folk who don't know what to do if there's no power. Afraid they might have to start talking to others if the telly or computer console doesn't work.

Can I point out a small problem with your flag?

You're flying it upsidedown.

And I await the picture of you outside, in the snow, in your T-shirt.

Our friends up in Inveran have recently been improving the insulation and sorting out draughts. They have installed some infra red heaters in various places including a small room that they use as an office. The heaters are in the form of pictures such as this one:

If it snows I will pose for you all.......

Speaking of snow. I've just been out dropping club kit off to members and the fells all round us and across towards Yorkshire are all covered with snow. From a distance it looks like heavy falls.

No........I'm not driving over to Longridge Fell to do a selfie in the snow....... Sorry.

 

[Flick of the Elbow]

Been out for a little walk, surfaces all dry, very cold windchill. Snow in the distance only. (Ochils).
