    Ooo thats brilliant Nikki, well done.

    I am seriously considering moving to Talk Talk for my calls and broadband. They have a deal for £7 a month for both of those, plus I would get free calls to my mum, which is good. Plus i would get £75 from Quidco. My sister is with them and they are quite good.

    If they cant fix it tomorrow I am leaving them I think. And even if they do I am going to complain.

    Muffin was delicious. :p

    Well I am in the process of writing a strongly worded letter to Sky with an exact timeline (I keep notes in my diary for this sort of thing - usually because with my luck it all goes wrong :rolleyes: ).

    I'm sure you should get legal aid jen, anyone on any kind of benefit does I think.

    I can't believe you would have to pay to go to mediation when it;s for the sake of your children Jen, that's digusting. Whoever made that stupid law up should be shot

    Amy do you want me to talk to sky for you, I think I'm in that sort of mood today lol

    Anyhoooow, I just went to Sainsburys and they have a half price sale on on their toys and 25% off their clothes. Oh dear lol!!!

    I bought dd2 a pushchair (she doesn;t need one she's only 18 months old) for her dolly - £1.99, a puzzle for her £1.49, bath foam letter £1.49, soft in the night garden toy £2.49,
    slipper for my dad £5 then take off 25%, jumper for dd2 £2.50
    plus 3 xmas smelly sets 3 4 2 in their xmas promotion. It was ridiculous money.

    Came home and found an email from Dooyoo as I was a voucher missing and was just querying it, they had missed it and sent me through another!! Think they were trying to tell me not to redeem so many £10 in a week though lol, so must try to save it to £15 or £20 if I can

    Thats brilliant YB... some great bargains there.

    I might start wrapping my christmas pressies up tomorrow. I only have 5 weeks until I go to see my mum so need her and my step dad's pressies wrapped, and my nephew's birthday ones as his birthday is over there. I wont be able to fit any clothes in my bag at this rate! :rotfl:

    I am refraining from phoning Sky YB as I know I will be so angry. I am writing a nice letter, and will see what happens tomorrow.

    :rolleyes:

    Jen - i think its disgusting you have to pay for mediation, as YB said its for your child, not you!
