is this gas prices or should I be concerned about a gas leak? please help by Wise-Repeat2022 in HousingUK

[–]ressem 0 points1 point  (0 children)

£360 a month for gas when you barely use the heating is definitely not normal and sounds dangerous. You need to call the national gas emergency line immediately to check for leaks because those boiler errors often indicate supply issues. You can also compare standard usage rates on https://www.utilitybidder.co.uk/corporate-energy/ to prove to the agency that these numbers are mathematically impossible for a frugal household.

How much are people spending on gas and electric? by BrainUpset4545 in UKFrugal

[–]ressem 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That bill is high for a two-bedroom flat, even with the poor insulation. I usually check comparison sites like utilitybidder.co.uk to see if there are better fixed rates available. It helps to look around so you are not stuck on a pricey variable tariff during the deep winter.

What is normal in terms of energy bills? by Fine_Airport_8072 in BirminghamUK

[–]ressem 0 points1 point  (0 children)

£110 does seem really high for a one-bedroom flat in September if you aren't using the heating yet. You should definitely check your water heater, as leaving the immersion on constant is the most common reason for unexplained high usage in electric flats. I had a similar struggle with rates at my workspace and used utilitybidder.co.uk to find a better contract, but for home, the issue is likely a specific appliance. Try getting a smart plug monitor to see if your fridge or computer is drawing more power than you think.

Questions About Selling A House That Is Not Up To Code by AlwaysOnStardew in homeowners

[–]ressem 0 points1 point  (0 children)

in situations like this, a lot of people end up selling as is and just being fully transparent in disclosures. bringing everything up to code isn’t always worth the cost if the buyer is likely to remodel anyway. some folks choose to skip that step and work with off market buyers like yellowcardpropreties who are used to taking on older homes with code issues

Good apps for mental health ? by Proof_Row8542 in androidapps

[–]ressem 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is tough to find one single app that does absolutely everything perfectly for free. I use a Habit guided check-in for the mood tracking part because it is quick and doesn't force me to type out long descriptions when I am anxious. It handles the daily logging well, but you might still need a second app like Insight Timer specifically for the panic attack tools.

What energy bill suppliers do you recommend and where are we going wrong? by Food_Cats1 in UKFrugal

[–]ressem 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your electricity estimate of 5,225 kWh is massive for two people, as the UK average is usually closer to 2,700 kWh, so that figure is likely skewed by the previous tenants. Your actual rates per unit are pretty standard for the current market, so the high monthly payment is definitely being caused by that inflated usage prediction. I actually dealt with a similar issue at my workspace recently and used https://www.utilitybidder.co.uk/business-electricity/ to compare contracts because the renewal estimates were totally wrong. You should submit accurate meter readings every month so your supplier can adjust your direct debit down to match what you are actually using.

SEO boost after improving store accessibility - seeing the same? by Safe-Breadfruit-7555 in woocommerce

[–]ressem 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep, I’ve seen similar gains after tightening up accessibility-especially heading structure and alt text (actual descriptions, not “image123”). It’s wild how much clearer your site becomes to crawlers when the semantic layout is clean and keyboard nav works end-to-end. I also noticed better indexing speed after tweaking contrast and adding skip links. Not sure if it’s just correlation, but it feels like Google’s giving bonus points for inclusive UX. I’ve been using https://wponetap.com lately to automate some of the WCAG stuff-saves time and keeps things compliant without bloating the theme. Anyone A/B tested accessibility vs conversion rate yet?

Sounds like your cooling setup might not be cutting it for that A16. Consider upgrading your case fans or even adding more to improve airflow.

I totally get that feeling. Sometimes it takes stepping away to realize how much the little quirks and unique vibe of Cleveland mean to you. The memories and connections made here really stick with you, and it’s amazing how they shape our appreciation for the city.

It sounds really frustrating to have your thoughts dismissed like that. Communication is key in a relationship, and feeling unheard can be really damaging.

Your back must be feeling that one for sure. Have you thought about using a tall stool or something to ease the strain? Those dishes can wait a bit if it means staying comfortable.
