Energy Switch - Boost to OVO

-

I'm switching from 
Boost (pay as you go) to OVO (pay monthly) 
for my electric and gas.

This is the first step to switching my energy provider,  Boost and OVO are owned by the same company. I will update this story as things move along!

With switching from Boost to OVO the following things will happen...

1: My credit meter will be switched over from a credit meter to a debit meter (all done via their mobile network, without human intervention)
2: My monthly spend will be reduced down by about £10 to £15 a month.
3: I will STILL be able to apply for the Warm Home Discount. Switching now will mean I won't miss the Warm Home Discount application process.
4: Switching will make it easier to switch energy provider in future.

The initial call to Boost went very well. The switching process was explained to me in a way I could easily understand. 

As a PRIORITY CUSTOMER (due to my health and disability) the same team I currently deal with / speak to will be the ones I speak too when switched over!

UPDATED 23rd September: Well the switch has been easy and painless, and I have had an email from OVO following the recent news about gas prices, and it says that they are in a strong position to get through this difficult time and are thinking about their customers!

Cornflakes coated chicken

Cornflakes coated chicken Inspired by Nigella  In a bowl mix together the following Mustard (of your choice - dijon, whole grain or French) Two cloves of garlic (grated) Egg (to combine) mix well until all ingredients are combined. To this add 2 chicken breast fillets flattened into escallops, let them bathe for a while, while you prepare the coating. In another dish pour some cornflakes , massage them into crumbs, add some paprika or cayenne pepper ( depending on your taste ), mix together. Take the chicken out of your mustard mixture and coat in the cornflakes, make sure you coat well. Fry in a pan until the chicken is cooked. Serve with a nice salad. I used honey nut cornflakes, which wasn't right for the dish due to the sweetness, but the nuttieness worked, I also added chives to the cornflakes. See a video online at https://youtu.be/44FvvRk-FIE

Christmas 2023 and into 2024

  I'm not feeling like Christmas right now. My Dad's woman friend, Tel, passed away, she was found by Police yesterday, after Dad hadn't heard from her in a few days. I'm feeling less than perfect. He's not told my sister yet, but she couldn't care less! She's said as much in an email basically washing her hands of it all and has more or less told me to take sides. Now I'm going to have to confront Dad about his house, there's no way I can set foot in there as the smell makes me want to throw up, didn't want to do that til new year. Oh what a Christmas this will be, damn it. I feel like I'm trapped between two dead end roads with no right of way. My downstairs neighbour said if my sister isn't talking to him she won't know I've been there. I can see where she is coming from though. I can't set foot in the house as it is anymore, it turned my stomach the other day, even a face mask don't help. I've decided to send my Da

London Trip 2023

Down to London then, staying in an apartment in Hounslow while down here, it's not the Ritz but it's not a dump either. Comfortable sofa, comfortable bed too, few strange point that make 'Sweet Home' quirky, just wish I could park my car closer, will look in to that later! Explored the town part of Hounslow, saw where Sunrise Radio is located, and some fabulous places to eat and buy food and other bits. The Christmas tree in the town lacks something, but it's an Asian / multi cultural area, with various faiths about, so let the local authority off on that one.  Had a good night's sleep, so off to another part of London, it's blue skies outside, but a bit on the chilly side. Here is a video of my short trip to London, also took some footage on a rather empty tube train heading to Baker Street on the Metropolitan line   https://youtu.be/FdpPLYAguqk?si=aRpuFd-vgjCnENC3 via    Question:  cheaper above or bellow ground? Answer: nothing in it really, just be care
