Morning all
This morning we are up early as the fence people who put our replacement fence up last week came back to collect the old one and BT who are coming to change our line to this new digital voice are due to arrive too.

CF, we have BT   coming to add one of those new fangled updated things, the bill has risen by £15  a month, no discount for loyalty of 56 years .

Symathathise  with your problem to get to sleep,  or for me to staying asleep,  no trouble getting up even though sometimes I am so cosy I would like to stay there but for me no point if you can't sleep.

Good luck with BT/EE, CF. Our switch over went very smoothly. 
We've got gently falling snowflakes up here - have they arrived there yet?
Take care  :)

Beautiful morning here today… frost overnight so had to clean car windscreen before going off to yogalates!
What a difference seeing the sun makes really lifts the spirits … trouble is looking out of the windows 😱😱 despite the window cleaner coming 2 wks ago!
Looking forward to getting into the garden and do some tidying up… been so cold and miserable not been worth it before.
Well decorating now starting next week as his other job has over run… doesn’t really matter but we have bust a gut to empty three floor to ceiling book cases!
New carpet has to be moved forward too by 2 weeks.. ah well it’ll be worth it..

Hope everyone feeling more spring like..
Take care

Yet another grey, overcast day here. Chilly but not nearly as cold as last week. It's breezy, the washing is on the line  so hoping it doesn't rain. Oh for some sunshine 🌞. It must be a week since we had a bright day.
I also didn't sleep well last night despite having a busy day yesterday. Some more DIY planned for this week.

LM, have you tried negotiating with BT? If you go on one of the comparison sites and see how much you can get the same services for, then use that as a starting point to tell BT that you're unhappy with what they're charging you in comparison. Tell them that you've been with BT for all those years and might have to think about leaving because of the price they're asking. If you don't want to do the price comparison, just tell BT that you're unhappy with the price.

I know it's a bit of a pain but worth it if you get a price reduction.
