Keep it coming

Well the post arrived - one envelope contained the rebate of the outstanding Road Fund license for the Silver Vixen's old car (incidentally that rebate is bigger than the cost of the road tax for next year).  The other envelope contained notification of the payment of our Winter Fuel Allowance.

This is an excellent start to the week.

It got better.

The phone rang. It was BT. The chap who has been handling the Gorse Fox's broadband issues was checking if the case can now be closed. GF agreed it could - it was clear there was nothing further that could be done until they lay some fibre. The BT chap then said that because of the inconvenience he would credit  our account with two months-worth of broadband fees. (This is on top of the credit they gave us last month for the disruptions to the phone).

A very good start to the week - keep it coming!

Meanwhile we have heard from our fireplace supplier. The fire and surround are now available and we plan to have them fitted next week. This is good because we should also have the shutters fitted next week. Once that is done we are all set until after Christmas.

BT broadband just got worse - they've been forced to turn off management for BT Infinity due to a patent infringement http://wragge-law.com/insights/bt-switches-off-part-of-infinity-broadband-system/
The result is no dynamic line management, meaning Infinity links are unstable - they can't adjust speed down when errors are detected, or up when the line is healthy.
