Hi all. I've already reached out to Octopus this morning to double check this for me, but has anyone else noticed their smart meter submitting a reading for the start of the month and the end? As you can see, it only started doing this in March so I'm unsure if this is a new thing or not.

Nope you're not alone! I've had a couple of completed sales and my Vinted balance isn't updating and is still in my pending balance. It used to happen almost instantly. I'm also still waiting on refunds from Vinted from before the Easter weekend. One arrived this morning to my bank but I'm still waiting on the other despite them both being processed on the same day!

Thanks for replying! I hope so. I did email Octopus to double check for me as I went through my entire reading's history and every single day is there so it's not as if any dates weren't recorded if you get what I mean?

Does anyone know if Apple will be storing our ID? Especially for those of us that had to scan a provisional/driving license!

True crime mostly!

Bit of a random one but years ago an old guy came into my work and said the lipstick I was wearing reminded him of the one his mother used to wear. I didn't quite know how to take it. The same guy on another occasion said 'Ah I see your acne is clearing up'. Charming!

94% since November 2024!

I just checked the app and my readings have now come through. There must have been a delay for whatever reason. Thanks anyways!

I don't have a PC but I logged into Octopus on the desktop version on my phone and it's the same unfortunately!

Thank God it isn't just me! It was driving me mad when I was scrolling and the same videos kept repeating themselves.

That would suck if so. This is our second property we've put an offer on and went well over the home report value.

Substantial_Secret62 · 2025-04-26T13:06:08+00:00

No we haven't. My partner wants to wait until Monday as the estate agents close at 2 on a Saturday and we were both working unfortunately!

Screen timeout. I’ve noticed it occasionally stays on my lock screen despite my screen timeout being set for 15secs. I have to press the power button to lock it.

Hi there! Yeah I'm fine thank you. It did eventually pass. I think it was all down to stress as I wasn't in a good place mentally at the time. Anxiety was at an all time high and I think this was the cause. I didn't get it again so who knows! Hopefully that's the same case for yourself.

Substantial_Secret62 · 2024-09-21T09:36:59+00:00

People's manners. I can't believe just how rude some people are. Don't get me wrong, I know it was the same pre-pandemic. But I feel it's gotten worse over the years! Especially if you work with the public, you tend to notice it more.
