    Plusnet...

    Option 1 then. She will get a letter, a router and a transfer date. They have a vulnerable people help line. My 90 year old father in law was swapped from PN to EE last week. Very straightforward process.

    Plusnet...

    1. Accept the transfer to EE 2. VOIP 3. Forget landline and go 100% mobile In a few years having a phone tied to a building rather than an individual will be as quaint as a red telephone box.

    Installing wiring wired video door bell

    I would get a Power over Ethernet (PoE) doorbell camera. One cable to cover network and power.

    Replacing back garden light - would you choose light with PIR sensor?

    I agree with the comment about having a separate LED and PIR. I have just replaced a PIR but no need to touch the light. A tenner from screwfix.

    Going EV

    The higher depreciation means you can get some great used deals. Our 7 year old PHEV has been great and we saved 6K off the list price. Next car will be a BEV.

    What water is safe for the garden?

    Not if diluted as in from a sink or washing up bowl.

    Going EV

    Had a Ioniq PHEV since 2019. Well appointed and cheap to run. A couple of issues but still very happy with it. Most journeys are 100% electric, long journeys are hybrid.

    A good UK SIM Card for a 4G Phone

    I can recommend the Lebara Sim only deal bought through Money Saving Supermarket. Update £4.49 for 3GB or £4.99 for 5GB currently.

    Is This Boiler Finished And Needs Replacing - Valliant

    Had the same issue and tightening the O rings fixed it. They were subsequently replaced.

    198 kHz qrt

    Not sure the site would be suitable for development given the marshy nature of the ground. An extension to the wetland reserve which is next door would be one option.

    198 kHz qrt

    Owned by https://www.arqiva.com/ I believe the only other broadcaster is Talk Sport.

    198 kHz qrt

    A combination of end of life, running cost, being unable to justify energy use for a severely declining number of listeners. It doesn’t add up. I would imagine the masts will go eventually.

    198 kHz qrt

    I have not seen any timetable to turn off the Radio 5 MW transmission or to remove the two masts and T antenna which I can see from my window.
