Make sure you take copies from your Bulb account because you will lose all access to it VERY shortly like I did when they move you over to Octopus, your existing balance and bills will transfer over though but it'll be up to you to remember what your Bulb balance was before the transfer.

Been a good day so far, Bulb have confirmed it is we are that much in credit and are going to refund the amount I requested back, also the plumber phoned to say he will be here on Friday to fit our new kitchen sink. :hyper::cleader::cleader::cleader:

Awesome, but this means you had been paying far too much monthly how was that possible with monthly meter readings, I remember you posted really high figures which was questioned here.

Make sure Bulb reduce your direct debit asap as this direct debit will get moved over to Octopus which may happen any day now, hopefully the automated move won't happen before they refund you or it could get messy.

The start of another good day. Correct size sink was delivered, and the wrong sized one taken back, amazingly Plumbworld had agreed to swop sinks, this saved a lot of problems with couriers sending the wrong sized one back. Now to get the plumber to find time to fit it. :):):)

Great solution and good will guesture which shows Plumbworld in a good light. Having you and your your plumber think they are worth recommending helps Plumbworlds reputation at very little cost to themselves.

My happy start is that I have finally come away from my detested Three mobile, donated the balence left to a favourite charity and, as of 5 minutes ago, I'm up and running with 1p mobile. £10 every 120 days and the £5 referral has been applied by 1p as a further 120 days so no top up needed until late October. Win Win Win Win. :)

Great move Jo, after reading this I decided to see about swopping over to 1p mobile, however 02 says my contract is for 24 months and if I left before that date I would have to pay a penalty. So I am stuck with them for another 15 months. 02 is increasing their charges in April. :(

Had our weekly shop delivered only to find around half of our requested items had been duplicated, not complaining as over £50 free. Van man not concerned at oversight. :):):):):):):):):):):):):)


Plus Mr T won £151 on football coupon yesterday. Long may the good luck continue.


Just received text from plumber coming Thursday to fix sink.

Just booked a summer break - me, my two brothers-in-law, and my daughter’s father-in-law, are going on a boys*[?) sailing holiday in the Ionian Islands first week in July.

*I’m the second-youngest, and I’m 66 ;)

The joy of flotilla holidays is you have start and end points each day, but how you (and how long it takes you to) get there is up to the skipper (AKA my brother-in-law); we get to stop over in a different harbour each night, with 3-6 hours sailing each day, finding a nice isolated cove for swim/lunch, then find a taverna for the evening meal - some hydration may be undertaken… :D
