Phone/ADSL in the UK

I'm looking for advice to help Mater choose a phone company. In the flat, she is restricted to using a BT line. (I'm also researching ADSL suppliers using http://www.thinkbroadband.com/isp/compare.html - which doesn't include very small outfits e.g. Phone Co-op Broadband).

Most of the tenants have BT 'by default'.

Mater will probably be quite a light user, mostly making voice calls off-peak. We're going to set her up with video Skype, so she'll be calling my brother and I using ADSL!

Advice gratefully received.

Bathroom ooo

We have a tentative schedule for replacing our excreable bathroom:

Now - rough estimate, UKP 6K
end Jan - Builder presents detailed estimate
2nd week Feb - destruction commences, back to joists and plaster
end Mar - whizzy new bathroom!

The plan is:

dry-lined exterior walls
new glazing, low-e obscured
insulated floor and ceiling
real linoleum floor
fully tiled walls, understated but not clinical style
'double-ended' (central taps) bath
low-flush loo
passive shower over bath
sensible sink (with cupboards built below)
heated towel rail
two cabinets (only existing feature to be retained!)

So I will need to be mostly house-based for the sake of kitty and G sanity for mid-Feb to end-Mar.

States of mind

I seem to spend too long in unhelpful states of mind.

There is the 'over-focused' state which is good for studying, but lets important life-stuff slip.

There's the 'totally blank' mode, when my mind is just listening to elevator music - not relaxing, sadly.

There's 'hyperactive' where trains of thought are interrupting one another, going nowhere.

Tell me there's something normal besides this...
