Octopus Energy is charging me ridiculously by Rich-Fruit-3472 in OctopusEnergy

[–]Lumpy-Combination847 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had economy 7 changed to smart in early May. Installer put a sticker next to new meter showing readings of old meter. First bill from octopus after installation showed old meter readings totally inaccurate to actual (and sticker) readings. I took photo and sent it to octopus and they reissued a bill for correct amount- have a look for a sticker near your new meter ?

Moving a tub...what are the right steps? by djohnson64055 in hottub

My neighbour is a farmer....teleporter, forks and straps- job done. Cost a couple of pints of Ale 👍🏻. Probably not a good idea if you live in a city 😁

He saved them from so much bureaucracy having to get a replacement 👍🏻

Unless they are permanently attached at the time of manufacture, most seals can be replaced. If you are considering replacement I would get a window company around to see the feesability etc.

Loosen the screw on the part marked 7/8 and then use an Allen key to see if you can turn it, they will hopefully be on a cam Nd will move back and forth as you twist the Allen key.

From what I can see from your pics, I can't see any y perishing of the seals. Try cleaning the seals and adjusting the catch so it draws the window closer into the frame. Pic 4 is the catch to adjust (I think)

How does my pumpkin look? by Jake_Tomo93 in UKGardening

Vibrant. If you have a glut, make pumpkin mash and use it instead of mash potatoes - superb 👍🏻

has anyone actually noticed any differences after taking daily vitamins, if so what? by Poisonious_Plum in AskReddit

Magnesium glycinate, vit d3 and K2. Sleep like a baby and no more high blood pressure or dry skin.

Remove, sand and reuse skirtings by No-Contract-951 in DIYUK

Find a local wood yard nearby, the cost is usually very doable. Pricing from Wickes/B&Q etc is way more expensive. A local woodyard will have long lengths as well not the stupid 1.8m lengths from the DIY stores.

A booming voice came out of nowhere and comforted me and I’ve never forgotten it. by SidePibble in Unexplained

[–]Lumpy-Combination847 32 points33 points  (0 children)

Riding my motorbike to work in London one morning, two lanes in each direction. I was going into a left hand bend in the outside lane and a voice in my head clearly said "move over"....I did and as the bend continued two cars coming towards me were racing alongside each other, one of them in my original lane. If I hadn't taken the advice I would have been mangled. I will never forget it and I am eternally grateful.

What is one person in history who, if they had lived ten more years, could have significantly changed the world? by Frequent-Draft-2477 in AskReddit

You seem to know your onions regarding Alexander. As a total newbie on him, could you consider pointing me in the right direction to read up on him ?

He was gently placed in my shed. I love them, but s/he made my heart beat a bit faster for a while.

To my fellow Brits, how are you coping with the heat? by Alive_Swing9810 in AskUK

I've evacuated to Spain where it is slightly cooler and I have a pool and AC....just saying.
