utility thieves

 I got up yesterday morning about 5 as I could not sleep so had a cup of tea, I then went back to bed, when I got up later I noticed it was very cold as the temperature had dropped in the last day or so but it was dry, I then went to make breakfast and noticed the heading was on it had been on since I had got up earlier, the house was freezing even though th heating was on

Heeating a house is expensive these days it it obviously going to be expnsive for me and I am not even going to get the benefit of it, these old buildings are not designeed for modern living but its not easy to find somewhere decent to live these days so it seems the utility company is going to extort money from me and I am getting nothing back which is a sad state of affairs really, I could turn the heating up even more and get even more extorted from I guess 

These utiliy companies operate as a cartel and there is no competition in the market the energy really needs to be nationalised in end to make it fair for everyone as people need heat and people should not be being robbed blind by this cartel thogh there does not seem to be much of a will to change things rirhght now se we all must continue to be robbed blind a terrible state of affairs really 

I am having a smart meter put in a couple of weeks I am not sure it will make much difference, will I be obsessively watching how much I am going to be paying, there are smart tariffs apparently but its not easy to get your head round what is what in the utility market I guess there is always citizens advice who might help

My utility company has been bought by octopus thats another thing that won't change mcch of anything regarding the priee of the thing.

I sold my first thing ever on ebay yesterday a phone, the money from that will go to help pay the extortionate utility bill thought it won't go too far, I will need to go and print off the label to send it to the person in a bit.

I will need to take a reading off the meters soon I will chop a bit of the end to lessen the blow but it will be a bit more along the line.I did have a direct debit with the utility companies but they kept sending me obnoxious emails about the price going up so I stopped that I might be paying a bit extra as a result I guess.  it will be good to have the summer come along to have a break from the thieving bastrds

whist

Well I achieved something last night, which I thought was going to be beyond me, I guess to a lot of people what I achieved, was pretty trivial, but I guess we all see things different;ly, what I achieved was to get over 170 score in a whist drive.  Last night was the first time I had ever done it, had a few scores in the 160's but not in the 170's which I see as the holy grail of scores to get as you will probably win then, which in fact I didn't last night, someone scored more than me, by 1 point.  I was not that bothered about that, all I was concerned about was getting a score above 170, I have been going to whist for years off and on and was never, until last night able to get the magic score, I am surprised I got the score last night as I had a bad headache all evening, I guess it was the luck of the cards that got me through. I thought I would never get the score, as I don't see very well, and struggle to make out the cards sometimes which is a bit of a strain,

great war

I went to an exhibition today, which was about the first world war, it mainly seemed to be full of photos of men from my home village who had fallen in the great war, they were all young obviously not ravaged by time.  It was a bit sad to think that so many young men from the place where I grew up were killed, it had their names and the names of where they lived, the names of houses and streets are the same today Sometimes you feel the outside world does not affect what happens here, but I guess it must do as it dragged a load of the young men here into the conflict which was going on at that time, I am not sure I agree with them going to fight, but that is neither here nor there, the fact is they did and that was what was going on at that time. My grandfather was in the first world war, but he was lucky enough to survive, even though he did leave his calf muscle over there in wherever he was, it must have been hell for him really and I guess I will never know what he saw there, al

shack

I did not go the 4th day of the walk, I could not face another 10 miles of plodding around the countryside, I think this is mainly due to the fact that I have not been walking quite so much in the last year, due to bad weather and things like that.  I did not think I would even finish 2 days but I did 3 in the end, more than anyone else except the person who organised the walk.   Instead of going on the walk i tidied up around the place, and just sat around, and also watched the football this afternoon, it was a crap day.  I did not even go for a short walk, its still perishing out there, I have a short walk on Wednesday, a kind of trail run for group who want to do this short walk, a recky or something they call it. I have at last heard when the new kitchen is being put in, apparently its on the !0th of April, I should have a received a 21 day notice but I didn't, which I guess is typical of the organisation who are doing the work. I am a bit apprehensive about the rewiring as the
