We woke up this morning to a cold and frosty picture. Frost has covered all the surrounding fields around us, and the temperature was at -2C. Major parts of the UK have severe fog warnings, with some parts of the country hitting -10C.
It’s been two months since we switched to a new energy provider, so it’s a good time to discuss our first impressions and write our GOTO.energy review.
We’ve just finished gutting our master bathroom and the next step is for us to start putting the wheels in motion in rebuilding it. For our flooring, we want to go with a click system – with that mind, we went online earlier this week and requested some samples from suppliers.

Our cats are not allowed outside in the evenings, so we needed a cat flap that would allow us to regulate their movements. This is our Cat Mate Elite review where we focus on the flap’s main features and functions.
We were recently asked by Global Energy Systems, the manufactures of our air source heat pump, to fully restart and reboot the system. This is a quick video to show the process.
We hit a milestone on our solar PV system today by producing 5 MWh of electricity since March. This means we’ve saved pumping 1,275kg (almost 1.3 tonnes) of CO2 into the atmosphere.

When we moved into our house there was a small room under the staircase that my wife very cleverly converted into a linen cupboard.
