When you get electricity it will get even better

Are you hoping she will invite you over and cook you a meal with her new electric cooker

. I understand the village wasn't hooked up to mains water until the 60's.

Bet they stunk in the village before then

Don't they offer to cut any prices when you threaten to leave?

They didn't offer us anything

They didn't offer us anything

Having never had the pleasure of dealing with them that surprises me.
As we have seen on here there is normally some kind of negotiation and the possibility to obtain some sort of deal.
Sky certainly appear very arrogant in their attitude towards customers.
It would be interesting if they were to start losing customers in their droves

Well I'm feeling listless.

Only thingsthat need doing are the insurance claim for our cancelled Vietnam/Cambodia trip - last of the medical paperwork arrived yesterday. Also have to start looking for car insurance. LV's renewal price of £323 for both cars looks good - I'm wondering if finding something substantially cheaper is likely???

I need to prepare an area for sweet peas...........

How deep is the area for planting?

I suspect it will be raining for most of the day.

Out most of today, and people were complaining about hailstone, this morning. A bit of rain around half six tonight, with another slight bit around 1/2 an hour ago.

Hey you.....I was just building up the courage to ask you to marry me** but that has deeply upset me.
**providing Mrs D will let me have all our money and Mr WD will let you have the 10 acres PLUS all the money.

Hard to believe. We have two cars on the same policy, renewal is May 15th. Insurers wrote asking me to ring as they couldn't automatically generate a quote. This is because my licence is revoked following illness.

Phoned and I can't have cover as I don't have a licence. So now Mrs P has two cars insured in her name. The cost has gone up because only one person is covered. Why? The agent said it's because if we are both on the policy it's likely we will be in the car together and two pairs of eyes are better than one!!!

I got no reply when I pointed out the risk reduces by 50% as we can only drive one car at a time.

You could be distracting the driver of the vehicle they are in charge of though.

I am tied into BT until January 2020. After that i will be going onto the comparison site to find a better deal. I had to go with BT, as fibre broadband has only just arrived in our area and they had to hook us up to it.

BT or OpenReach?

Spade's depth when I get round to it.

Awake. Had a brew so about to try for another two hours.

Heading out for a 50 miler with the guys today. Some strong riders out so I'll be wheel sucking!

Consultant appointment this afternoon. Fingers crossed I get discharged as clinically recovered.

Weather looks greyish but still.

Morning all, off to see the medication dispenser this afternoon, 29 miles each way, that is Lincolnshire health for you.
