Each of those wee coloured anal plugs are filled with liquid such as alcohol. The little metal tags have numbers on them, (eg 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25). Each tag is a slightly different weight so that when the water enclosed in the glass dildo heats up or cools down the wee anal plugs rise or fall thus giving you the (rough) temperature.

Pans Jambo Posted September 29, 2022 Share Posted September 29, 2022 New rates start tomorrow. Get your meter readings in tonight before you go to bed so they don't charge you the new rates until midnight tonight or else they will "estimate" what you used up to today (unless you have a smart meter of course). Heating getting cranked up tonight (then switched off again). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Need to spread the number of folk trying to use the systems. Seems sensible otherwise if millions trying to submit readings it will go bang😃 Just checked and BG and SSE seem to be on board at least so worth checking if these are not your ones. Non Smart Meter users as you say. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve said this before but don’t rely on your credit too much to see you through the winter this time. Any credit has been built up through low usage and low charges. That’s all changed.

Malinga the Swinga Posted October 8, 2022 Share Posted October 8, 2022 Unless you have young kids, no need for heating to be on yet. Out for a walk up in hills after 6 tonight and when I got back, house felt warm enough. Exercise gets blood flowing and is good for circulation which keeps yous you warm anyway. A good couple of weeks minimum of summer light duvet use before switching to heavier winter one, probably in Nov. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
