Yes, you need to act — and the email buries it.

TL;DR: If you do nothing, your electricity rate jumps from 24.6p to 34.1p per kWh (~39% increase) from 1 January 2027. The "there is nothing else you need to do" line at the end is misleading.

What to do:

• Log into your Fennick account/app before 28 November 2026
• Pick a new tariff — they're nudging you toward "Fixed Saver 27"
• Don't just accept that one blindly: check its rate against the current 24.6p, and compare with other suppliers too, since you're free to switch anyway

Ignore:

• The T&Cs update — minor stuff (meter readings, complaints, email contact), nothing to act on

Also note the "Standard Variable" rate can go up further after you're on it, so letting it default is the worst outcome.

Subject: Return of Security Deposit – $1,400

Hi [Landlord's Name],

I'm following up regarding my security deposit of $1,400 for [property address]. I moved out on [move-out date], which is now seven weeks ago, and I have not yet received the deposit or any itemized statement of deductions.

I've sent a few text messages about this and haven't heard back, so I wanted to put the request in writing. Please return the full deposit, or provide an itemized list of any deductions along with the remaining balance, within 7 days of this email.

For reference, most states require landlords to return deposits within 14 to 30 days of move-out, so this is now well past the typical deadline. I'd much prefer to resolve this directly with you and would appreciate a reply confirming when I can expect the payment.

You can send the deposit to [mailing address / payment method]. If I don't hear back by [date], I'll have to look into other options for recovering it, including small claims court.

Thanks for your prompt attention to this.

A couple of quick tips: look up your state's actual deadline (search "[your state] security deposit return law") and plug the specific number of days into that third paragraph—it carries more weight than a general statement. Also keep a copy of this email and your earlier texts in case you do end up in small claims.

No, that's a scam. It's a very common "smishing" (SMS phishing) pattern. Here's how you can tell:

The URL is the giveaway. Look closely at dhl.com-redelivery.eu. The actual domain here is com-redelivery.eu — "dhl" is just a subdomain anyone can create. Real DHL links end in dhl.com, dhl.de, etc. Scammers put the brand name at the front hoping you won't read past it.

Other red flags:

• Tiny fee (1.99 EUR): The amount is deliberately small so you don't hesitate. The real goal is to capture your card details on the fake payment page, then drain the card or sign you up for recurring charges.
• Urgency ("within 24 hours"): Classic pressure tactic to stop you from thinking or checking.
• Unsolicited: If you're not expecting a parcel, that's a clue — but even if you are, scammers send these out en masse and get lucky when people happen to be waiting on something.
• Generic text: No tracking number, no sender name, no your name.

What to do:

• Don't click the link. Delete the message.
• If you clicked and entered card details, contact your bank immediately to block the card.
• If you are expecting a DHL package, go to dhl.com directly (type it yourself) and check your tracking number there. Real customs fees are handled through official channels, not random text links.
• You can report it to DHL at phishing-dpdhl@dhl.com (mailto:phishing-dpdhl@dhl.com) or forward the SMS to your carrier's spam number (e.g. 7726 in many countries).

Leek & parmesan skillet frittata with buttery croutons — one pan, ~20 min, fully vegetarian.

Prep (5 min)

• Slice the leek thinly (white + light green), rinse off any grit.
• Tear the stale bread into bite-sized chunks.
• Beat 4 eggs with a splash of water or milk if you have it, a good pinch of salt, pepper, and most of the parmesan grated in.

Cook (12–15 min)

1. Melt a generous knob of butter in a nonstick or well-seasoned pan over medium. Toss in the bread, fry 3–4 min until golden and crisp. Scoop out onto a plate, salt lightly.
2. Add another knob of butter, then the leeks with a pinch of salt. Cook 4–5 min until soft and sweet, not browned.
3. Turn heat to low. Pour the eggs over the leeks, tilt to spread. Scatter about half the croutons on top so they sit in the egg.
4. Cover with a lid (or a plate/baking sheet) and cook gently 6–8 min until the top is just set. No oven needed — the lid does the job.
5. Grate the last of the parmesan over, add more pepper, and pile the remaining crispy croutons on top for crunch.

Slide out, cut in wedges. If you have any lemon, hot sauce, or a few herbs lying around, they'd be welcome but aren't necessary.

If you'd rather not fuss with the lid, the alternative is soft scrambled eggs folded with the leeks and parmesan, spooned over the buttery croutons — same ingredients, 10 minutes.

Here's one — swap in her name where I've put [Name]. Spoken at a normal pace it's about 45 seconds.

Hi everyone. I'm [Name]'s brother/sister, and I'll keep this short because she told me to.

[Name] has always been the one who goes first. Up the tree, off the diving board, onto the wall. The rest of us watched from the ground and said things like "that doesn't look safe."

Then she met Elliot at the climbing gym, and I noticed something. She stopped going first. Not because she was scared — because she finally had someone worth waiting for.

Elliot, you fit right in. You're calm, you're kind, and you're the only person I've ever seen talk her down from anything, including a very bad idea involving a rental car in Scotland.

So — to [Name] and Elliot. Hold on tight. Trust the rope. And always let the other one go first every now and then.

Cheers.

If you want, tell me her name and one real detail about them (an actual story, a quirk, how they first talked) and I'll tighten it around that instead of the Scotland line, which is a stand-in.

Sharing the steak

The steak is priced by weight: €5.50 per 100 g, with a 1.2 kg minimum.

• Minimum steak: 12 × €5.50 = €66.00
• Cover charge: 2 × €3.00 = €6.00
• Subtotal: €72.00
• • 12% service: ≈ €80.64 total

So roughly €80 for the two of you with just the steak and nothing else — about €40 each.

A couple of things to keep in mind:

• The actual cut will often weigh more than 1.2 kg (they'll usually show/weigh it for you first). At 1.4 kg, for example, the steak alone would be €77.
• Sides aren't included — a side of beans or fries would add €5–6 each, before service.

How to explain it while looking at the picture (9-year-old version):

1. "See how the Earth is leaning? It always leans the same way, like a spinning top that's a little tipped over. It never straightens up."
2. "Now watch it go around the Sun. On the right side, the top half — where we live — is tipped toward the Sun. The Sun shines right down on us, and the days are long. That's summer."
3. "Six months later, Earth is on the other side. It's still leaning the same way, but now our half is tipped away. The sunlight comes in low and sideways, and the days are short. That's winter."
4. Bonus: "The bottom half of the Earth has it backwards — when we have winter, Australia has summer!"

A hands-on trick that really makes it click: Grab a flashlight and shine it straight down on the table — a small, bright circle. Now tilt the flashlight so the light hits at a slant — the same light spreads into a big, dim oval. Straight-on light = summer. Slanted light = winter. That's the whole idea.

One thing to head off: lots of kids (and adults!) guess it's because the Earth gets closer to the Sun in summer. It's not — the Earth is actually slightly closer to the Sun in January. It's all about the tilt.
