@VeryHelpers Its not letting me send a DM. They have now collected the item several hours late but it was all very unprofessional and has put me off ordering large items from you in the future.

@VeryHelpers meant to have a fridge freezer collected today with ArrowXL, they haven't turned up and can't get through to anyone, tracking link not working. Can you help at all please?

@virginmedia Hello? It's impossible to cancel the appointment! Virgin have to be the hardest people to get hold of.

[Kirsty @Odell68]

@virginmedia I need to cancel an appointment for a technician to visit tomorrow, I follow the link but it doesn't give an option to cancel? Can you help at all.

[Kirsty @Odell68]

@AsdaServiceTeam please can someone contact me regarding a grocery collection. Impossible to get hold of someone and no one answering the door for me to collect my food

Some still writing things like 'people still splurging amid mortgage crisis' as an argument that things aren't so bad. Yet of course that's happening - we have a split society.

From a consumer perspective the mortgage crisis disproportionately falls on relatively few shoulders.

Roughly 1/3 of the population has mortgage, a third rent, and a third owns their house outright.

Of the third with a mortgage, many are still on long-term fixes. This means the bank of England's deliberate policy to increase the cost of borrowing in order to squeeze disposable incomes, and take money out of the economy, is only really very directly hitting likely under 20% of the population. So their incomes need to be really squeezed in order for it to work.

Of course there's also a squeeze on renters where costs are rocketing, some of it an indirect and painful knock on from the mortgage rate hikes, but also from the other big inflations in energy and food prices.

That's one part of our polarized society. The other includes those who own outright, some of whom will have gained from the £150 billion pounds of extra savings that built up during the pandemic. And while there's some hit there due to energy and other inflation, it will be offset by benefitting from interest rates going up, as savers get more income.

So the idea that the mortgage squeeze means pan society everybody stops spending is nonsense. What we're actually doing is trying to fix the whole economy by making a disproportionate squeeze on a relatively limited number of people.

Of course interest rate rises impact business too. Yet that's not my bag.

@OVOEnergy my gas meter has rolled round to the start so my meter readings for the last 2 months keep getting rejected for being too low. I've used your online chat and called who tell me the reading is pending to be approved but still not updated. Can you help?

@O2 I want to pay off the remainder of my device plan, can I do this any other way than phoning? I don't have time to wait 45 mins on the phone 😏

“Fertility Network’s survey published today looking at the impact of infertility & fertility treatment reveals only 25% of people are supported by a workplace fertility policy & over a third felt their career was damaged as a result of fertility treatment.”https://t.co/EEYqwCRe0a

I still find it so emotional to watch programmes about IVF, I'm forever grateful to the wonders of medical science, 7 million IVF babies have been born since Louise Brown 44 years ago. Just amazing ❤️ #NicolaAdams #MeandIVF

Jonathan seems lovely and they just paired him with someone who is the opposite of him, pretentious, spolied and materialistic. Poor bloke! #MAFSUK
