..... and now I feel really old, I can remember handing over a coupon to buy a small paper twist of sweets. I also remember going to the shop and quite often there not being any left.

I've literally just sent Octopus my readings in  Maybe they'll pro rata the extra few days at the old rate, they've been pretty good so far (though I may not be saying that when my new flexible prices come through).

Re: Energy companies collapse
It took me 5mins to log into Bulb earlier, it said I submitted my gas reading ok on the site but gave an error for electricity but I still got an email or several emails saying they had received it.
