@ACJSissons Do heat pumps really need this much space? We have a detached house but struggling for suitable space based on these requirements!!

@DoctorChrisVT My little one seemed intrigued by the first ‘real’ bread she’s ever had! Thank you for this book - game changer. Now desperately waiting for friends and family to read it!!

@PJTheEconomist @_simonlambert often highlights these *mad* elements of the tax system on @thisismoney podcast. Complexity helps politicians here - people don’t understand how unfair these ‘quirks’ are and how angry they should be

@watsoncomedian I’ve had about 34 conversations on their app with @BritishGasHelp where they say an issue will be fixed in a few days… it has been 3 months and nothing has happened

[Ellie Awford @EllieAwford]

@_simonlambert @TheIFS Please do for the podcast!! Spoken to so many frustrated young mums last few days. Cliff edges and distortions like this drive me mad. 62% marginal tax rate plus 30 hours free childcare taken away is just 😵‍💫

[Ellie Awford @EllieAwford]

@MartinSLewis Unless one parent earns over £100k. Huge cliff edge incentivising either reducing hours or giant pension contributions! Bizarre distortion 🤯 @TheIFS

[Ellie Awford @EllieAwford]

@Samfr Any thoughts on the huge distortion caused by the £100k cliff edge? @TheIFS

[Ellie Awford @EllieAwford]

@CackidyJones @Coram Really sorry I don’t know! Our bikes were transported to/from Portugal by @ClubPeloton as part of our fundraising ride for @Coram!

[Ellie Awford @EllieAwford]

8 weeks until I #cycle 500km from Porto to Lisbon! 🚵‍♀️
If you would like to donate to the amazing charity @Coram:

Are @TLRailUK trains running from Preston park? No trains showing on @thetrainline

We shouldn’t let this be buried by other news today. Foodbank charity Trussell Trust says that the need for foodbanks has outstripped donations for the first time. It has distributed 46% more emergency food parcels in August and September than at the same time in 2021.

@EleanorMorton Tolkien and CS Lewis!

@Emma20087846 @mydeposits With ours the landlord had submitted evidence it just took a while for it to be processed and sent on to us

[Ellie Awford @EllieAwford]

@mydeposits my old landlord hasn’t submitted evidence and it’s been 21 days (deadline was 14), been on hold as 1 in the phone queue for over an hour across various calls, no response to emails, how can I get my deposit back?

[Ellie Awford @EllieAwford]

@Barclays I’ve spent 90 minutes on hold today do you employ anyone any more? The online chat isn’t available and I can’t access the app

[Ellie Awford @EllieAwford]

@hullablue @HelenZaltzman We had to make one up at school - mine was ‘Mummy vacuums every morning just saying unusually naughty poems’ 🪐

[Ellie Awford @EllieAwford]

@virginmedia I’ve moved house can’t work out how to update my correspondence address online? Worried the cheque will go to the wrong place!

[Ellie Awford @EllieAwford]

@virginmedia I’ve been trying to end my contract for 2.5 hours why is this so difficult?

[Ellie Awford @EllieAwford]

@virginmedia Yes it was via web chat a month ago, with the date for disconnection the end of the contract in mid September, but I’ve been told I’ll be charged in September and then I’ll be charged more after that!

[Ellie Awford @EllieAwford]

@virginmedia I think I’ve been charged an extra month? Also I’ve had an email telling me my bill is going up when I already gave notice to disconnect a month ago?

[Ellie Awford @EllieAwford]

@BritishGas your phone line has hung up on me twice for no apparent reason after going through multiple options - how do I speak to someone?
