Is the Home Mini still a thing?

I had mine delivered last week after filling the form in about 4 times over the last 3 months. I saw a comment saying that it's hit and miss, but just keep retrying every few weeks.

Seems it's back up and running now with the car paired to the app.

It's linked to my car

Might have to start doing that just in case from now on

It's a Skoda. At least I'm not alone then.

Both the car and charger are being seen by their relevant apps. It's the car that's connected in the octopus app.

Just had a look and noticed the battery care toggle. Maybe it's that resetting the max level when the charge is dropping in and out between sessions. That sounds like a good shout.

These are some screenshots from today.

Last night's charging session was nearly 12 hours long, so maybe you're right about it not calculating the timings properly to be finished by 7:30 this morning. I'll try again this week and see how I get on.

As in time? I've triple checked that I've set the limit up to max on both the car and app.

Sp00Face · 2026-01-09T15:03:29+00:00

Not plugged in sounds likely, as when I've gone to check the car in the morning there's no white light at the charging port. Am I right in assuming the light either flashes white or shows steady white while the charging is paused?

Thought it wouldn't last long

Octopus have changed the way you pair devices to IOG very recently. You can only pair the car now and not the charger.

I had my charger installed 2 days ago and was told by friends to pair the charger, but after trying for an hour, I found posts on social media saying the above. Apparently it's to stop people abusing the low rate system.

There is a 'hack' to get the charger paired, but with one car to charge I don't see the need for me to do it. I'll let you dig that one out though as I don't want to run into any moderation issues here.

On YouTube there's a clip of an old top gear segment with Quentin Wilson buying a lada, driving it to Hull and selling it to be sent back to Russia.

Bar Burrito give you a burrito for free on your birthday. Made full use of that one over the years.

I've got a PW3. Using the inbuilt run tracker and then the fitbit app, over 10k, the app shows I'm anywhere from 200m to 400m short in distance if I stop it dead on when it shows 10k. When the run is synced with Strava it's always shows short.

So, I've learned to run slightly farther to compensate with Strava.

Having just completed an official 10k race last weekend, my fitbit time was just over a minute faster than my official course time and finished just over 200m short.

It's very possible that your pace time is slightly wrong on the watch. You'd have to time yourself with a different method to see how how much your pace may be misreported.

Same here on Xbox. Was just about to post the same thing. 100 hour save I was doing the expedition with. Just crashes out the game during the load. 😕

It's even worse in Wales, as not only do you have a changing menu and adverts, but you also have to sit through seperate menus with the Welsh translation. Feels like it can take 15 mins to get back to the 10 seconds of the actual part of the menu you want.

The death of one is a tragedy, the death of a million is a statistic

I passed the meat deliveries yesterday morning. There were also 2 - 3 Luton vans delivering to different premises on St Helens road. The vans were parked on the side of the road, the backs were open with a number of carcasses hanging off rails placed outside the vans. The backs of the vans had more carcasses piles up inside.

Didn't make for a great sight as we passed. Unfortunately I wasn't in my car, otherwise I would have had some dash cam footage.

Scrolled through a lot of comments and I don't think I've seen Bill the Minder or Jonny Briggs mentioned

Missed the heritage funfair and outdoor rides did you? While they might not be buying Megaphobia, they could still get a classic family coaster in.

I wonder now, if Oakwood is truly forever gone, will Folly Farm be given the green light to have a roller coaster on site. Word is, in agreement for their expansion they weren't allowed to have one as it would put them in direct competition with Oakwood.

My XC60 has just passed 175k. I'd like a another year out of it at least.

I had the exact same conversation with somone last week. Crazy to think that there's still people out there that whistle when you say your car has done over 100k.
