High energy use despite not being home

Hi all,

Noticed for the past few months that our energy seems to randomly spike when we are not home. Whilst I appreciate its not huge it does add up over the year, and we are quite energy conscious so I am keen to see if I can reduce it.

Everything is either off or on standby, with the only appliance actively on being the fridge.

We have a combi boiler, but havent had heating on since feb so I am not sure what seems to be using SO much energy when we are out of the house.

Any idea on how to find out what this could be?

We are in a rented flat which is inbetween an estate agents below, and another flat above.

Thanks for any and all advice 😄

Stretch Marks

Hi all,

For context I have marfans, I was diagnosed at 14 or 15 with genetic testing as it runs in the family. Fortunatley I am quite lucky, whilst its not ideal, I dont suffer from particular heart issues. It primarily affects my eyes and ligaments.

However, one of the main issues is stretch marks. Whilst they dont look great I can live with them. I am 28 very active 10-12hrs of sport a week and regularly get them around my stomach, inner thigh, inner upper arm. However, recently I have noticed them under thigh. All these places I have quite "thin" skin. So I am very prone to "chub rub" despite having a bmi of 22.5.

Has anyone found any good solution to both avoiding them and helping them not be so painful. At times they are deep and red and make it quite uncomfortable as it feels as if I have been rubbed raw!

I do use bio with varying degrees of success.

I have restarted PC
Run as admin
Reset the app
Repaired the app

Hi all,

Looking for 2 bikes to be fitted for my first bike fit. Although I have been cycling for 15+ years I am no longer as flexible as I used to be and actually have to take care of my joints!

I have found 2 near me, one at Signma sports (£400) and the other at Clapham cycles (£350)

Does anyone have any experience with these and can make a reccomendation for which might be best?

TIA

Grinding loot to buy and sell to Artisan / other vendors just to level them up. Artisan has no main missions, and currently I have 1 active mission. So I either go do a bunch of other tasks for vendors that are already levelled up, or accept tasks and kill myself.

Spending 400ks on stocks to sell them at a 70% loss (this seemed like the best XP/$ rate, you may aswell just give me a button to donate my money to level her up. At least I dont have to sit and buy 10 stocks at a time for 30 minutes.

Any cycling clubs in or near Shepherds bush?

Seems to be a bit sparse over here and Im too tall to never have anyone to slip stream!

Almost all my rides are either on zwift or by myself. Would love to find people of a similar age (28) that would be up for doing some rides!

Managed to get handshake, gunny and lab rat to T4 with relative ease by grinding missions and redoing main missions. But I dont think there are any for Banshee / Turncoat / Artisan.

Is there a better way of levelling them up than doing side tasks and contracts for 90 - 150xp a time? They all need around 4000XP each
