Decided to sell our London flat. Talked to Estate Agent last week. Started to arrange the photos. Told our lodger earlier this week that unfortunately later this year they'd have to move out. Was concerned they'd immediately move out and we'd have months of no dosh from them while we sell it. But actually, they said they wanted to buy it, and have offered the asking price. Could potentially be the easiest sale ever.

Managed to make and pour a perfect concrete mix. I hate working with concrete, it's messy and unpleasant and I can never get the consistency quite right, but I had to smash the slab in the basement to move some pipework for a bathroom renovation I'm doing and so I had to fix the slab afterwards. Have been putting off doing it for a few days because of how much I hate concrete, so it was pleasing and surprising when the mix was perfect immediately.

Moved our electricity tariff, means we are at present being paid by Octopus to charge up the car.

The Octopus Agile. Amazing isn't it. We're on the Octopus Tracker , which has been great the last few months since we changed. Halved our bills. If we had an EV or a large battery we'd be on the Agile too. Worth following if you don't:
-
Presume you have to have a smart meter? We have one but it only works for the gas. Had someone out to fix it a while back.
He said he had. But it still doesn't work for the electricity.
-
What also may have halved your bills green lad is it's spring.

We moved on to Octopus Intelligent Go a couple of months ago when we got our first EV. Adding around 70 miles of range is currently costing just over a quid on an overnight charge at 7.5p per kilowatt.
We simply plug the car in and Octopus connects to the wall box and instantly works out when and how to charge most cheaply during the early hours.
-
I don't think we can have intelligent go as we have 2 diff evs and a different charge box
This agile seems good as about half our elec usage is ev charging
-
How does the Agile tariff work?
-
You get told the day before how much electricity will cost the next day in 30 min blocks, so you can plan any moveable usage.
It works very well with an ev. It is capped at 100p per mwh, so there will be times when it is a lot more expensive.

Haven't hit more than a handful of balls in the ten+ years since I gave up golf because of my bad wrist.
Just had an hour and a basket of 120 balls, at a range with a ball tracker.
Not bad. No pain.

I found that interesting. Although I, personally, don't/wont use issuu. I did make enquiries about making an accessible ebook (pdf) alternative available to talkback members, but that permission was not forthcoming. Which I will respect (although there would appear to be no reason that it can't just be done...apart from issues surrounding being a cunt and undermining the value and work others have undertaken).
...anyway....it's there, and a resource...I believe there may be the contributions of talkbackers in there...
