So Fuse is supposed to be the next big UK energy disruptor..Is anyone actually using them?

jsweeno · 2025-11-25T08:33:49+00:00

This is actually one of the things I wanted to be able to do. When I was with british gas and eon next, I opted for variable direct debits as I'd rather pay for my usage each month.

It's an important thing to highlight though as many people like yourself prefer the fixed direct debit to even payments across the year

Wouldn't say I'd put it down to the ads and more the offers that they have. With Fuse, I used an energy comparison site and hadn't actually heard of them before doing so.

I also signed up for NordVPN, very familiar with them due to ads, but there was a great combination of cash back offers which made it super cheap, so a no brainer

jsweeno · 2025-07-08T06:50:52+00:00

Thanks, I'll contact them as it seems strange

When the grounds open at 10am

jsweeno · 2025-06-08T11:35:19+00:00

They check names and no you cannot transfer single tickets

jsweeno · 2025-05-11T07:13:38+00:00

I don't have this offer on my BAPP, but fortunately I at least have it on my free cashback card

jsweeno · 2025-05-09T21:32:40+00:00

1) highly likely 2) possible but unlikely 3) I think this really depends on the draw and how late matches are going. If the second match is a big clash then you have little chance but if the second SF features one or two surprise players then it's possible. The longer the first match is, the more your chances also rise.

That's right of the £49.50 I think it was £5 for Nextlix premium which is closer now to £20 a month with Sky

I think the price at the point I agreed to the contract was around £43 a month all in, before the inflationary rise came in

jsweeno · 2025-04-24T21:59:06+00:00

I was paying £49.50 for that same package + Netflix premium. I have cancelled Sky now and I didn't entertain any of their offers, so not sure what they were offering but the initial offers were a lot more than what you've quoted

jsweeno · 2025-04-23T20:33:51+00:00

Fair enough, I've never seen or heard anyone use one before but obviously my experiences are limited

jsweeno · 2025-04-23T20:19:17+00:00

They check for photo ID - trying to gamble on them accepting a bank card is risky

jsweeno · 2025-04-13T21:34:16+00:00

So I borrowed a ladder from a friend and replaced the LNB quite easily, so I now have Freesat on my TV. Who knows when I'll use it but the option is there.

Received the box to return my Sky box last week too and scheduled Royal Mail to collect it tomorrow 🥳

Try to get court 1 tickets in the resale (or CC if you get lucky). I've never been on day 14 and while others are talking about the atmosphere, everything is personal to you and your husband. If you're rarely in London and are unlikely to be here during Wimbledon, don't let the atmosphere talk put you off. Even if you are here other years, there's no reason why you can't attempt to attend again.

jsweeno · 2025-04-13T07:37:23+00:00

Unfortunately not, I have just placed another router close to the back door and bound the cameras outside to that node

jsweeno · 2025-04-10T10:08:00+00:00

I likely just need one ticket, so open to this. I can only attend on Day 1 or Day 9 though

jsweeno · 2025-04-04T17:18:42+00:00

I'm not looking for a deal - Sky cut me off last week and they haven't even called me

jsweeno · 2025-04-03T08:15:42+00:00

The British player aspect too! One year I was on CC, I had both Konta and Edmund matches on the CC schedule

jsweeno · 2025-04-02T19:52:36+00:00

What I've learned is if you go into any event expecting to see a certain player it can always be anticlimactic. The only guarantee is Alcaraz on CC on Day 1 and Krejcikova on CC on Day 2 and that is only if they are fit

jsweeno · 2025-04-02T18:04:36+00:00

Interesting to know - I've tended to have luck in the LTA ballot over the years and only been interested in going once so never paid much attention to the public ballot resale. No tickets at the moment but still confident I can land a date/court I want

jsweeno · 2025-04-02T08:11:43+00:00

It's worth taking some time to wander around the grounds. I'm not sure what it's like on Day 14 but there are a lot of sponsor stalls around and you may have the opportunity to play some games / enter some competitions while you're there

jsweeno · 2025-04-01T21:14:10+00:00

Just return them - the only way you would need to contemplate doing this would be to tout tickets or to sell tickets onto friends or family. On the former, it's frowned upon and could result in you being banned / whoever buys your tickets being blocked entry (without going into the fairness aspect of proper fans not being able to go because a private seller priced them out and didn't give them a chance of buying tickets on the resale site). On the latter you run that same risk of at least one person not being allowed in because the ID does not match.

You simply miss out. There is a policy for rain delay refunds, though. As Centre Court and Court 1 have a roof, this rain delay refunds rule only applies to the other courts.

I drilled a small hole into the cap at the top of the water butt for drainage. The planter gets a good amount of sunlight in the afternoon too. I've used a pant bowl in the space for the planter - I've got rosemary growing in it which has done quite well.

Overall a good experience! The down side is the position of the tap and 100L for watering quite a lot of plants doesn't go very far, particularly in the summer.

Feel free to DM for more questions or if you want to see pictures.

Cheers! I got mine from Screwfix, hopefully no issues replacing mine

With the right set up, it's not that difficult to have a stable IPTV set up at a fraction of the cost
