    I know :o I'm tidying at the moment. Tidy house = tidy mind or something like that. Then I'm ready to start debt busting. I'm looking for a new broadband deal too and opening a new ISA, so I've been a bit distracted, sorry.

    I think I might actually have received some motivation in my post today, so I'm going to get on.

    Broadband: Plusnet

    ISA: Abbey (unfortunately)

    Tidying: Chuck it all in the spare room and close the door

    ok now that's sorted let's get cracking :grin:

    Do plusnet do mobile broadband?

    I've already got an Abbey ISA. Not sure if I can have another? I'm opening an IF ISA to move my house renovation savings to.

    My spare rooms already full of junk :D
    Though no one can go back and make a brand new start, anyone can start from now and make a brand new ending

    I have Vodafone Pay & Go mobile broadband so I'm not tied to the house when I'm on call. £40 up front (£10 back through Quidco) price includes £15 credit & the best thing about vodafones mobile broadband is there is no expiry on the data as long as you log on at least once every 6 months (most expire a month after you buy it.)

    No, I don't know anything about dongles ;)

    Have you read this? I need to find out about this stuff but I'm on Vodafone who do unlimited 3G on my phone for £5 a month so maybe I can use that with my laptop too. Sorry, not helping..!

    Ugh Abbey [shudder]. Have you seen this list? IF seems to be the best. Hurrah, another job ticked off the list :grin:

    Just keep cramming stuff in until the really old stuff disappears through the window.

    Right I'm ready for the matched betting when you are. [music from Rocky] :)

    You have misinterpreted the relationship between Pat and me in the same way she does :)

    Although she has yet to realise this, I am in fact the boss, as she cannot get food without me due to having no money, job, pockets or thumbs.

    So I have sent her to bed on her own where she will attempt to take up ALL the space despite being tiny. So I can stay up a bit longer :)

    Hehehe. Just catching up with what I missed last night & that totally reminds me of my married mates trying to convince me that they do in fact still wear the pants in their house ;)

    Erm if I have just seen an offer on wine at £2.70 a bottle, should I be mentioning it here or definitely not mentioning it?

    Ha - Pat is definitely a cat and not a wife, but the effect is similar :)

    Thanks for the links. What is 3G? :o I'm sorry, I am soo bad with technology.

    Yep, just filling in paperwork to transfer my existing ISA over. Hoping they don't make a total mess of it, like Shabbey did when I transferred my other one.

    Spare bedroom - if I'm not careful that might actually happen. I have a parental visit at the weekend, so the place needs to look ok. Not with piles of post and clothes/shoes strewn all over as at the moment.

    This has reminded me, for the shoe enthusiasts here, I ordered a pair of work shoes from Dune half price a few weeks ago. They are the best things ever (well for work shoes anyway) and all the better because they were on sale :D

    Mention away. What and where is it? Can I go and buy one?
