Ovo were really good when they initially started and then they got all the publicity by criticising the big 6 on TV and that was it, the spiral downwards started. Their prices rocketed and they were no longer bothered about the customers and joined the big 6!

She has a chronic constipation / distended colon problem and is now booked in tomorrow morning for an 8:30am enema under a general anaesthetic. The vet bill will not be much different from my new panels. :facepalm:

Cats more important than solar panels.

Hope the enema goes well for her. I'm sure she will feel better afterwards (well, once, the GA has worn off).

Cats at Vets looking forward to a great time. :facepalm:

I've got two up now. I was delivered different panels to what I ordered and invoiced for. :facepalm:
505W Longi 2093mm x 1134mm instead of Trina 505W 2176mm x 1098mm
I accepted them as they would have been my second choice anyway but the fit on the roof is going to be tight, very tight. :?
