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 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

Cons proposals for PIP

Cons proposals for PIP Sunak and his government need flogging - end of! Here are his government's proposals relating to PIP. Awards for claimants with physical health conditions and those with mental health issues were called into question by Sunak. He argued that whilst some people need money for aids such as handrails or stairlifts “Often they’re already available at low cost, or free from the NHS or Local Authorities. And they’re one-off costs so it probably isn’t right that we’re paying an ongoing amount every year.” MY VIEW ON THIS: I need PIP for my motability car, also to get CBD and other natural remedies as I'm not a fan of co-codamol and other pain killers and things to make life easier that I can't get elsewhere, I buy my own walking sticks that go with what I wear, so they blend in and don't stand out, it helps my minds train of thought. In addition, claimants with mental health conditions are to be targeted because “for all the challenges they face it is n...
