Good morning Ruby, SGL, RosieBB and Chive (love that picture of Nel!)
SGL, hope all goes well at the dentist and that your OH is happy with his hair cut.
I had some news this morning which had made me a very happy bunny. After 7 months of wrangling with failed energy companies and been quoted a ridiculous amount of over £375 Direct Debit per month I have finally heard from BG and taking all things finally into consideration they have come up with a two figure number for my DD - which is roughly what I thought it should be so I've agreed and a DD is being set up now. Closure at last.

In contrast, my energy company have just sent another text pestering me to keep a real time track of my energy usage by arranging installation of a smart meter. Why would I bother with that when I can already keep a real time track of how much money they owe me
Hooray LB 🥳 so pleased that BG have finally resolved this matter for you a cause for celebration ☕️🍪 Busy I had to smile at your post, as i’d dared to bare more of my legs today in shorter trousers 😳
Hi Biglad. I refuse to have a smart meter - in my situation I cannot see the point of one. Maybe families may find one appropriate but basically, if I want to make a cuppa or bake I'll just do it. My sister and her OH are also refusing to have one. They have been in a dispute with - you guessed it - BG because their meter needs replacing. They cannot send in readings because the 'window' is just blank.
I happily send in my meter readings monthly and keep a record of my readings with photographs of the meters too.
Hello Busy, yes it is a huge relief. I feel as if a weight has been lifted off me. Like Chive I laughed at your post. After using an epilator for many, many years my legs are hair free. Sorry chaps. My second in Department at school was a man (one of 3) and he used to say to we ladies (4 of us). I don't care what you lot do to make yourself look and smell nice - just don't talk about it! Mind you he was one of the Chemists and was well known for making horrible smells in his laboratory.

Me too @Ladybird4. I waste enough time staring at my phone reading pointless texts or whatsapp notifications. I don't need a smart meter to stare at as well. The theory that they save you money is completely lost on me. Like you said, if it's dark the lights are going on. I won't be turning them straight off again because I can see it is costing me money. Plus, as I regard the company as thieves, why would I want to let one of them inside my house? They've already taken my money, I'm not letting them get at all my priceless antiques
LB a good result there with BG, you’ll be most relieved. Chive a lovely picture of Nel finding a comfortable place to relax. I had cheese on toast for lunch with home baked bread hadn’t had it in ages, tasted delicious. Alfie’s started his attentions on the new covers. I have made some ooh noises and will hope for the best. Just having some tea before making some phone calls. Top bird hope you’re having a good day. Busy 😊.
Afternoon everyone, it's schorchio here. OH pleased with his haircut. I had to have a small filling, which cost me an arm and a leg 😣 When i arrived i noticed a sign on the reception desk saying... As from 1st May dental charges have been revised. Great I thought 🤦♀️ and they certainly had 😓 @Ladybird4 that's great news about BY well done. Same here about smart meters. Have heard so many bad comments about them anyway. OH always does the meter readings and also takes photos too. How is Jack today, hope he's feeling much better. He must be glad to back in his own bed. @Busy-Lizzie made me smile too. 😉 @Chivetalking that's a lovely photo of Nell.
I've been weeding the bed under the bay window this afternoon. Moved and divided a couple of plants that had got too big, have come in for a cup of tea. Too hot to do anymore.

Good morning all.
Once the sheets are on the line we are off to do the weekly shop. The weeks pass so fast.
Warm and sunny. I'm wearing a dress! I put on a cardi but too hot so took it off again. Had to shave my legs
Busy I had to smile at your post, as i’d dared to bare more of my legs today in shorter trousers 😳
Have a nice afternoon everyone.

Thank you all for kind words. I'm much better, but still feeling some back pain.
LB, I'm so glad that you finally closed this chapter with BG. Also it's nice that Jack is back home.
Chive, Nel is a beautiful cat. Must say that your floor tiles look almost identical as my in summer kitchen. 😁
It's still sunny and hot. I'll have some lazy week till Friday, and then is time for tomatoes and peppers.
