General Discussion / Energy Companies
« on: June 17, 2023, 07:33:52 PM »
We've been with OVO for a good few years. never had any issues and enjoyed the 5% interest rate on accrued monies - except -
After the winter we were not far off £600.00 in credit so decided as winter was over and we hadn't used our heating for awhile to reclaim some.
Problem!
We were apparently only allowed ! £104.00 back as we needed to keep three months in credit to cover our future energy bills!!  >:(
How very DARE THEY presume that we couldn't pay our bill - we pay by direct debit and have never been in debit.
I stewed on it for awhile then emailed a strong letter to their complaints.
Seriously within less than FIVE MINUTES hubbies mobile was ringing - he wasn't aware i had just emailed them.
I heard him say 'who is it' OVO? Hubby came into my computer room looking a bit confused.

Anyway to cut the story short the chap from OVO had seen my email pop up Obviously read it - and phoned straight away.

We got our money, but I requested he leave £200.00 in as a starter for next winter.
My gob has been truly smacked - That has to break all records!

General Discussion / Turkey and Syria Earthquake
« on: February 06, 2023, 02:08:27 PM »
Very sad news today. It must be a nightmare for those living in these two countries. TV footage is frightening to watch.
Our weather is rubbish at times in the Uk but we don't get earthquake's - yet!

General Discussion / Covid
« on: March 17, 2022, 07:06:06 PM »
I have finally been got at by the virus!

Very un pleasant - a bit like having a rotting animal up my nose  :-?

My main concern the first two days were not being able to care for my six Hedgehogs but I managed ( this was all I did manage)
I think I got of lightly compared to some and although still testing positive I'm starting to feel better.

Would I be worried if I got it again - not if it was like this time as it was manageable, but it's always a gambled with this orrible virus  >: >:

General Discussion / Our Queen
« on: January 16, 2022, 10:42:55 AM »
Our Queen deserves better than the shite that has landed on her doorstep, both with her son and the Government.
I'm not getting into Andrews mess but will say all of us in our lives must choose who we mix with carefully the Royal Family needs to be extra cautious - he's landed himself in it good and proper now!
The Royal family meet many many people in their duties but what isn't to me usually done is putting ones arm around someone who don't know for a photograph to be taken -

As for Boris and his party disrespect isn't in it is it! Everyone who attended those boozy do's should be taken to account for their actions.

Moving swiftly on it's our Queens Platinum Jubilee and early last year I secured a booking for a speaker  to come and tell us ( Tupton History Society) of her life and reign, I'm told by the speaker there are things which even she did not know. This will be at the start of the long four day Bank Holiday the UK is to have.
I'm sure our village will have entertainment being organised as well.

Have any of your villages/towns started making plans yet - we need even more so to celebrate this She deserves better!
