Today I rang around to organise the Electricity, Gas, Water and Council Tax. I wasn't sure who I had to ring about the electricity and gas. So after a search on the internet I found a couple of numbers to ring which would tell me who the suppliers are for the house.
My supplier for electricity is nPower and the gas is British Gas. When you first get connected you have to stay with the current suppliers but can change afterwards. I managed to arrange for the electricity meter to be read on Friday, tried to get him there on Thursday but they said they needed a whole day and I don't get the keys until dinner time Thursday.
I tried to organise with British Gas but they said you can't do it until at least 48 hours before moving in. So could ring tomorrow at the earliest but will leave it until Wednesday and organise for him to come out on Friday as well.
The water and council tax were easier and took seconds if they have done it right!!
The only problem I have is that both the electricity and gas meters are pre-paid things where you have to get top-up cards like a pay as you go mobile phone. I don't like this and have asked to change them. The electric I'm stuck with for a couple of weeks but the gas I can supposesdly get changed when I ring up on Wednesday. Wil be getting them changed as soon as I can.
Hopefully I will either go and get some temporary seats (inflatable) or go to have a look at a bed tomorrow lunch time. Haven't decided which yet probably better looking for a bed first.
