Perhaps you deal with your bank by phone or in person but there’s no such facility online I think (at least not in mine — the auto renewals don’t show). I am also not clear how that works with credit cards? I know you can stop them by phoning the payee of course or even by telling at the time of purchase.
+1 for loyalty.........Customer loyalty is a two-way thing, I have yet to find a supplier or service provider that truly values my loyalty, which is why I have little loyalty to any of them.

We were Octopus customers too, for a year. We switched from OVO to Octopus, it went very smoothly and apart from the occasional email pushing smart meters I have no complaints. Last year we moved to Shell Energy as they offered a better rate for dual fuel. The move to Shell Energy was equally painless and we have had no issues with them.Last September, as a result of a recommendation and the kind of due diligence you carry out yourself, we changed gas and electricity supplier from EDF to Octopus. You can only sign up for gas and electricity not one or the other. The first bill was for Sept/October/November. It was £77.88. With EDF that would have been £130. We also received a £25 welcome thank you in October. We submit, online,a monthly reading. Infact, I'm like you regarding keeping on top of home expenditure and I take a weekly reading of both meters. It came in very useful when Octopus asked for a previous reading. I've got them going back years. We've declined their offer of smart meters, though. The bill has increased because of higher usage over these past months but still well below EDF. It was very easy to switch too.
I'm reluctant to make recommendations re products and services because things go wrong but I'm sure you'd prefer a heads up on it rather than me saying nothing so let's call it a 'heads up' It's a Which? recommended energy company and has won awards. https://octopus.energy/?gclid=EAIaIQobChMIrZL10vSd7gIVVoFQBh38ZAWJEAAYASAAEgKjFvD_BwE
I'm a member of Which ? and signed in to read their review with the intention of letting you see it but because of signing in I realised that by clicking on 'My Account' anyone can see my details. Fortunately, I'm a bit more savvy about computers these days but not long ago I'd have just posted it.

Hmmm! That 'tracking' reads to me as the shipper had printed the label and that 'tells' DPD that it is awaiting collection i.e. not yet in the DPD courier network yet. Yes that 14 digit number may represent the true tracking number but until it is scanned onto the collection van it is going nowhere!!!!!
Yes, my thoughts too!
Avoiding dog deposits? or dirtying expensive trainers?WAMT ? Two joggers running along the road in the gutter. Not an uncommon sight anywhere. It's not even a busy road and next to them is a 15m wide grassed area.
Can’t understand that, when I lived in Town my dogs always crapped in the gutters. No pickup laws then. However, I don’t quite understand John’s post as running actually in the gutter would be quite tricky. Round here there are grass verges (no pavements generally outside built-up areas) and they are difficult to walk on (not regularly mowed) compared to the roads.
