I have just found out that our LL is planning to demolish our bungalow to erect 2 houses on the land.
Back in summer this year we had 2 guys doing a land survey and we asked them what they were doing and they told us they were doing a land survey. We asked why and they said the LL is either planning...

While temperatures drop, homes across the UK are gradually firing up the central heating. But why do some people feel the chill much earlier than others?

Each autumn - or earlier, if summer is particularly disappointing - there's an argument that sunders households up and down the country....

We have run up a 'small' debt (large to us) of just over £800 with SWALEC for our gas and electricity usage. I am disabled and am usually confined to the house 24 hours a day. As our living room is dark, we tend to have to have lights on all the time.

We already pay £30 a week to them...

just wondering what, if anything, would have made an application for a credit card (for example) invalid. Like if the applicant did not complete the application details truthfully for some reason and the creditor didn't do the required checks ?

Maybe if someone under the age of 18 for example,...

I was looking for something in a cupboard today and the drawer came too far out and smacked me straight on the bridge of my nose, it isn't bruised as yet just has a small lump, it never cut the skin either.

Hi all,

I was wondering if any of you had any experiences; positive or negative.... about post-hysterectomy effects, etc.

It looks like I will have to have one because I have a large calcified fibroid mass and I would like to know what's in store so I can prepare myself...

Last week I was without heating for at least 5 days, I pay my bills with Swalec and also have boiler and elect cover under the swalec scheme.

The problem actually happened over a month or so ago, the fan was getting stuck in the boiler, and the engineer came out the following day/morning...

Morning everyone. Everything is quiet at the moment on the debt front and we're not paying anything but still struggling with household bills. I'd just like some opinions. Just had our house valued and we're now well into negative equity and we also have a secured loan. We could rent somewhere better...

Not sure if anyone can help with this but my Mum is 69 and is still working full time. She split up with her husband 6 years ago and ended up having to take a £40K mortgage on her house which is now worth around £160K. She also took a car PCP out last year which she pays back at £200 a month. ...

When we rearranged the house to acomodate Mr I's failing health we had to put in a new heating system. This was completed in May 2010. We were fortunate to qualify for a disabled facilities grant to cover the work. The builder contracted the plumbing work to a local, reputable plumber, and a new combi-boiler...

Checked my online billing for both Gas & Electric, both with Swalec.
