    I've thought 'to hell with it' and poured a glass, it's a really cheap one in a big bottle but it's surprisingly nice!

    I'm PAYG also. I spend nothing on mobile calls, never make them, probably about oooooh, £2-£3 a month on texts and landline is around £5-£8 a month plus line rental. I think I need to get some friends to talk to!

    well, this is it Doomcow. I email friends - and even my Mum! My Dad hasn't quite caught up with the age of the t'internet so he just leaves it to my Mum to do all the communicating!

    Hi again, sorry I was distracted by the washing up mountain which is now washed, dried and put away.........I have put my blinkers on when walking past the ironing though:rolleyes:

    I am feeling a bit nostalgic...........I know we have had one before but I fancy a good old boogie at the 1970's Disco........dig out your flares:D

    But these things take time, I know that I'm, the most inept that ever stepped.

    i've set up my grandfather's internets 4 times in the past week.

    each time i leave him and everything is working, and then i call him a few days later to ask about it and he basically says that it doesnt work for whatever reason. im fed up trying.

    so tired tonight. feeling quite stressed also - tryin to talk to my family about CC's but noone is interested or wants to help and none believe that i can a) afford one or b) will keep it in check (eg, to stooz with(which is ideally what i want to do))
