Depends on how efficient your house is.

I think my smart meter is broken, or I’m involved in some sort of massive scam. Meter ticks down exactly the same no matter what I do. I have three freezers running and it’s still exactly the same as it was with 1.

You can suffer it, you can endure it, you can embrace it. Choose your stance, then kick them in the head even though that was explicitly against the rules.

Moving house is hell though, so it is not surprising. Chill. Have a wank in the kitchen.

more like 'how much weed are you growing in the shed' ?

To be fair I doubt it'll make much difference even if your shed is full of weed. A 2kw fan heater pulls a lot more than a fairly respectable grow.

£2.5k a year you're looking at if that was all year. Which it won't presumably.

I'm likely at about £1.8k a year in this place. It's a poo poo house, quite large I guess, air source heat pump, no oil or gas and electric car charger.

£4.85 today. It's cold.

I'm not normal. That's like three times a normal house maybe.

Something's wrong at yours. Or your maths.

Unless you had the heating on full with the windows open, it is.

It’s £15 for a 3 bed and that’s not giving a poo poo.

Sounds like there is debt on that meter, standing charge gets racked up till it’s payed off.

Don't worry, I don't handle big changes well either, but I've done enough to know that the icy terror seems like a quaint memory after a while. Try to get one room looking nice and complete, that sort of thing usually helps.

My bills are gently caress all, but that's because I live on my own, in the dark, and only need/want the house at about 15-17 degrees.

So I just found out that as I don't want to take any time off from work over the next couple weeks, I'm being landed with my work, everyone who is taking it off, my managers work and her managers work.

I didn't want to take time off so I didn't have to come back to more work, but looks like I've shot myself in the foot with that one

Is there work to be done over Christmas? Can you wear all their hats?

Declare that in a staff meeting the manager decided that what everyone really needed was a staff bonding session to boost morale. So you went to the pub.

My boss is currently wanting more info on why a load of 10+ year old networking kit needs replacing... Some of it is 100mb for fucks sake!
We had a bit of a disaster back in august when some stuff blew up during a power failure, I would have thought that would speak for itself but apparently not.

We are now on version 3 of the proposal & fully expect to start on v4 next week.

The firmware is outdated and they are out of the support period, and just by being there they represent a serious security threat to the company that could result in a major data breach or ransomware attack.
