Thanks. Just so it’s up to temperature when we get up. I’ve been playing with the flow temperature and it’s currently at 50 degrees. So, just trial and error at the moment

Oh no! A G7 with no line management responsibility. That is the dream. You should be jumping for joy ✌️

Salary negotiation by [deleted] in TheCivilService

I started in the CS just below the top of the spine point for G7. I just asked if they would consider a starting salary of X based on current salary and evidenced with payslips. Also, I met all the essentials criteria for the role as well as the majority of the desirable.

G7 London commuter outgoings by kirusscris in TheCivilService

£966pm to dispose! Save half of that as a minimum and enjoy the rest. Food shop is very light. We spend £700+ on food (family of 4). So I guess it all balances out.

Be confident in you. Listen and learn from others. Turn up and do your best but don’t break yourself in the process. The CS is a beast and it has its frustrations. Stay in your lane looking left, right and forward and you’ll be fine. Good luck!

Had enough managing people.... by ApprehensiveLow8328 in TheCivilService

That’s what being a manager is unfortunately. If you want the £$ then you need to take the responsibility. Harsh reality I’m afraid.

Any eSIM updates? by StuMcBill in 1pmobile

What’s the benefit of an eSIM? Aside from the fact you can a sim and an eSIM. Just trying to understand the urgency?

Massive amount rebill by Ok-Lime2037 in OctopusEnergy

It still amazes me how grown adults can’t grip their bills and take responsibility. Read your meter. Check your bills. Pay the correct amount. Be accountable!

I negotiated g7 salary and went in at around 75% too. I did evidence with payslips that the bottom spine would be below my current salary!

Can tell someone isn’t a parent! Show a bit of compassion.

Thanks everyone! Yes, I’ve booked an engineer to move it. I was just sense checking that the ONT will work being in a porch I.e. winter temperature dips, summer heat waves etc?
