We've been with Octopus for a while, fixed rate, dual fuel, compares pretty well to others.  We'll probably just stick with them too.

Quote from: Mups on Yesterday at 10:00:00 PMI managed to get an appointment for Liffey this morning.   
The young vet did a flea check first - nothing there.
She thinks it is an allergy of some sort.

I showed her all the places that she had made sore,  especially her tummy,  and the vet was surprised at just had bad it was.   
She has given me some tablets for here,  plus a skin spray I have never seen before.  When you press the nozzle, a foam comes out.   
I have to rub rub this into her skin and watch she doesn't lick it until it is dry.  She said I can also still give her the Piriton,  but I haven't decided about that yet, I'll see how it goes first.

Lif is very quiet today,  and sleeping most of the time,  but there seems a slight improvement,  so that is encouraging at least,  but unless I know what she is allergic to,  I don't know what to keep her away from!
Just parted with another £90-something pounds.

Thanks for the kind thoughts, Scrumps, Alex and Muddy. 
I hope it works 🤞🏼.  One of my son's dogs gets something itchy on her paws, she licks them raw if they don't spot her doing it.  Like you, they bathe her and put ointments on, but it comes back.  The latest suggestion is it might be the grass irritating her skin? Cone of shame is on at night 😢

As you are exiting an octopus fix rate you most likely are on the same  fix rate gas as me and have three choices. Take the follow on fix rate, take the variable rate or move to a different supplier.

I won't go to another supplier as I want to take same gas as electric and their electric suits my solar set up.

I looked at fixed and variable and even after the upcoming hike in variables it is marginally less than the new fixed but there are a couple more changes before the new fix ends and I really can't see those being down so I  chose the new fix. There are exit penalties this time so I'll be stuck with it.

I think perhaps I will stick with the Fixed tariff again,  and see how it goes this winter.
Thanks for the comments.

Sorry I gave you duff info about series 5 of Fauda.   Fauda means ' chaos' and this series is full of chaos and excitement.   The new series will of course include October 7 so will be emotional.   The confirmed date FOR UK is September 8th. fingers crossed I've got it right this time. 🤞

It's always sad when someone is in such despair they feel they have to end their own life .
Especially when they are young .
The family never get over it , they always think they could have stopped it in some way .
They can't when someone is determined to end it all they will do it becaue they are not in their right mind
I don't know the whole story of Jason Arday 
I know he was autistic .
His  meteoric rise as an academic was difficult to understand .
( he didn't learn to read until he was about 18) 
He was the youngest black professor at Cambridge .
