‘Common mistakes’ using household appliances that could ‘drive up’ your energy bills .... some interesting points raised by Hotpoint experts in this article from a regional newspaper – from how much detergent to use – and is your fridge door closing properly?:

'Common mistakes' using appliances that could 'drive up' your energy bills From using too much detergent in the washing machine to not checking fridge door seals, there are several mistakes Brits are making when it comes to appliances

Any advice very welcome from Jersey based techie friends - I'm having difficulty with 2-step verification for work related google accounts. Error message: "There was a problem sending you a verification code"

I've got the back up codes so it's not a disaster but anyone know if this is a google issue (not recognising Jersey numbers)? Or if there is a work around?

What’s the weirdest thing you put in the dishwasher? 10% of brits wash their toilet seat in the dishwasher ?!? Surely not.

Hotpoint reveals most unexpected things put in a dishwasher To celebrate its Hydroforce dishwasher range, Hotpoint conducted a survey into the items that British consumers wash in their dishwashers.

Email from another Happy Customer. Nice to get some great feedback ......

Thanks again for your help and patience over the last couple of weeks. John was great to work with and glad to have everything sorted. Quickfix are definitely at the top of our list in case anything goes wrong, but hopefully it won’t be for a while now!

A nice note from a happy customer....

Thank you so much for such quick, friendly efficient service. I was just delighted you could fit me in at such short notice. The chap who came to fix my machine was so lovely and did a fab job.

Wishing you and your team a very happy Christmas and here’s to a great 2023.

Conversation with caller this afternoon:
'Have you got a belt for a tumble dryer?'
Possibly - do you have the model number?
'No - it's a Hotpoint'
There are many different models and we'd need the model number to make sure you get the right one - are you planning on fitting it yourself?
'Yes'
Have you done one before - it's notoriously difficult.
'It is not - I've googled it and seen it on youtube!'
What I said: Sorry - best buying it online I think.
What I wanted to say: I've seen people juggle chainsaws on youtube - not sure I'd trust myself to do it.

Are you thinking of buying a heat pump dryer? Do be aware though that a heat pump dryer, though energy efficient, will typically take a lot longer to dry your clothes than a vented or condenser dryer. And importantly will only operate at 20 degrees above the ambient temperature (the temperature of the room it's in) - so it won't be any use if you're planning on sticking it in the garage this winter.

Best heat pump tumble dryers: Which? Best Buys and expert buying advice - Which? The best heat pump tumble dryers can be real energy savers, but they generally cost more to buy than other tumble dryers. Read our full guide to see whether a heat pump dryer would be your perfect purchase.

Particularly apposite today - but our bills are in the £79.50 to £159.50 range not tens of thousands 😀
