Can I? Should I?
So my wife bought these (BNWT on Vinted) but she doesn't like the fit on her. I tried them on and .... I rather like them. They're snug and high, but not too snug and not too high. Am I crazy? Should I keep them?

Just picked up this pair from Vinted. I’m not the world’s biggest fan of cuffed jeans so when I saw a pair in my exact size, bought and hemmed at Hinoya, I couldn’t resist. They fit like a glove right now, I think.
Should have done one before I started for comparison, but never mind. Could do with building a bit more muscle (that’s no surprise) but feeling moderately smug about the rest of it 🕺
I am currently working via an umbrella company, and sacrificing £600/day into my SIPP. I have a full unused annual allowance from 2025/2026, but nothing from prior years, so I can contribute £120k into the SIPP this year. This also happens to be broadly the right amount I need to sacrifice to keep my gross income below £60k to avoid the child benefit tax charge.
If my contributions were to be, say, £126k this tax year due to working more days than expected, I appreciate that I will have to pay tax on the extra £6k at my marginal rate. My question is whether this extra £6k would be added to my adjusted net income and thus trigger the child benefit tax charge, or whether it is a purely notional addition in order to collect the tax due, and disregarded for ANI purposes.
If it would indeed be added to ANI and trigger the CB tax, would this be avoided if the pension tax liability were to be paid directly from the SIPP scheme, if the scheme will permit this (I think they have to if the liability is more than £2k?)
It hasn't appeared on any of my bills yet - I switched almost four months ago. For those that have received it, is it itemised in the transaction record, or buried in a subtotal somewhere?
This is a really good development. Our local lockers do fill up from time to time - today my wife had three things to collect, from different sellers, and all three were put in the same locker compartment. The three notifications were linked to make this clear, and the locker screen gave a warning to be sure to pick up all three items.
I've never had this before - is it new? It's a good development if so.
Hi - I'm getting constant reboots of my HA system and after running the logs through Copilot (I know, I know) it's commenting that the last log entry before each reboot is:WARNING (MainThread) [custom_components.edf_energy.api_client] Sunday Saver sign-up returned HTTP 204 for A-F71C564C. Body:
I've tried all kinds of other things (hardware reboots, updating DNS servers etc) but nothing is helping, so I just thought I'd ask if this might be causing an issue, perhaps related to Sunday Savers coming to an end?
I download all my half-hourly readings periodically, directly from the EDF site, and drop them into a spreadsheet. No data is missing!
I wonder if they might be talking about export, which I have been waiting almost three months to get set up…. Have emailed but not expecting a sensible reply!
I'm sure it'll all work out eventually but man this is getting ridiculous.
This was one of the reasons I switched, although not the main one. Hopefully the replacement will be worthwhile.
I never had a proper “before” photo but a friend has just sent me this from 27 June last year - two weeks before I started on MJ. Oh my God. If I ever get back to that, someone please shoot me!
Bit of a long shot but just in case anyone here has tried to do this - is there any way to change my time-of-use tariff rate settings from within Home Assistant, rather than having to tediously use the Tesla app?
I use the Tesla Fleet integration currently but I could switch to a different one if necessary (eg I have used alandtse's version in the past.)
Probably a question for u/triedoffandonagain
I'm wondering what source is used for the solar predictions. They are really very good indeed for me; much better than the couple I have tried in Home Assistant (Forecast.Solar and Solcast.) Just hoping I might be able to pick up similar data from somewhere - thanks!
So this Sunday is my first Sunday Saver, and I've got 16 hours. Is there a "fair usage" cap on how much I can use? I did find something online that suggested there's a maximum usage of 45kWh, but there's no reference to that in the Ts&Cs.
I'd plan to completely fill the car from close to empty on Sunday, but not if there's an overarching kWh limit.
So we’re into week two of Wimbledon. By now my hayfever is always - always - in full swing. This year? Almost nothing, just a few isolated sniffles.
Could be related to reduced inflammation, but it could of course just as well be pure coincidence. Whatever, I’m loving it!
I've been with EDF for seven weeks now but still don't have any confirmation of my export tariff, or indeed a bill of any kind, or a visible non-zero balance. Technically everything seems to be working absolutely fine, including smart charging, it's just all a bit slapdash!
For anyone that has got export confirmed, how do you get paid? Do they still not use smart meter readings for export and rely on us submitting readings?
This is very unusual for me - it’s been sat here for several hours now with a 4am 100% target and nothing appearing in the planned dispatches schedule.
