Tried to use the Firestick with Vodafone PT. it wouldn't work but it did work with our UK Vodafone portable wifi, which had limited Gb and is expensive! Bought 7 days unlimited for €10 but it won't work. Any ideas Macassar?

Ceh
Don't be too daunted by the prospect of changing, it is easy enough to do. We get our bill sent by email every month and you can go onto the EDP site and submit your readings rather than having an estimated bill all the time. It helps us to keep track.

Sorry folks that I have not replied until now. Alf could you PM me the contact details of your pool maintenance man. Demes he do gardens as well? I would also like a recommendation for a pool repair company who offer a guarantee for the work they carry out. Any information would be greatly appreciat...
