*my Diary* - Omg!

Hi All!

Another sunny day here in Kent - not for long though I bet! lol

Have just got off the phone to my mobile provider. Back in OCtober, I upgraded my phone, changed my call-plan and got more for the £20 I was paying (still paying £20 as I wanted the internet access!) My first bill came through in November and I thought that it was a bit steep at £42-odd. But as I had gone over my allowance on my old contract I assumed it was about right (it could be possible!). So this mornth I was expecting it to come through at £20. But no!! A text from them this morning said that this month they would be taking another £42-odd. "Hmmm - something not right there me thinks!" So, log-on to their billing page and have a little look at my account and there it is 'unlimited texts' on one page (and as advertised and what I took out as part of my plan) but on the bill page '100 text allowance!' Which I had gone over in quite spectacular style (well, I thought I had unlimited!! lol). So, a 20min conversation later and I am getting the plan amended for future bills and they are going to credit me for the texts they have charged me for and shouldn't. By my reckoning, January should be a free mobile bill month! YAY (although have paid more than I should have for the past 2 months!)

Hope you are all well? Anyone else still crimbo shopping, or is it just me? I seem to struggle to bring myself to spend any money on presents. I have decided to buy as much as I can online to get any available cashback from places like Q.co - then I'm paying for it with my Egg Money card which gives me a whole 1% cashack on all purchases! and then I will transfer that to my "new credit card" from Santander (who decided to only give me a £500 limit) which is at 0% and there is no BT fee as I am already a customer! I am hoping to have enough set aside in my current account after christmas to either pay it off in full or as it is on 0% for a while pay a lump off another card! ? A decision to be made later!

Oh, no more wins on BB yet - but as they say "today is another day!" I can't get on at work though as my silly computer won't install the flash-player needed! Something to look forward to this evening!

Off to do some work and have a little look to see what you've all been up to! oh, and some daily clicks! (still boring - but I like the free cash! lol)

glad you've done well on BB Nats.
and glad you've also sorted out your mobile phone, i'd have died of shock with a bill that size, but then again i do only top up a fiver each month and make sure i do that in boots to get my points lol
glad to see your OD accounts are looking pretty healthy.

Hello All!

Hope you are all well?

Just to report no more wins on BB! Boooo - still got tonights to play though (can't do it at work as my computer refuses to install the latest Adobe flash-player!)

Not a lot else to report - bought a few things online yesterday for crimbo - still struggling to part with money though! lol

Hi All! (second time in a day, I know!)

Well, I have just been reading through a couple of the headlines online and seeing what Alistair Darling has put in his pre-budget report. Upping the NI on wages over £20,000 by 0.5% - which apparently equates to a 5% increase on what we pay now! So effectively, I will be taking a pay cut when this happens - and this is supposed to increase public spending how?

nb, may have got hold of completely the wrong end of the stick - will be back later when I have digested the full facts!!

Hi All!

Just to report that I have managed to get my works PC to install the necessary Flash-player and have just played todays BB bonus money.

I WON £5-00!!! Yay!! So have deposited extra and withdrawn it!!! I am now £5.00 up, although still lagging behind Oh who is £15.00 up! Grrr

Hope everyone is ok? Nothing much else to report from me for now! All kinda quiet on the money front until the New Year, when I will start a new mission - I will be more dedicated to my cause... ME! lol

Hi Rags!
I'm playing Bingo Britain - Signed up, deposited and played £5 of my own money and then I get a bonus £5 to play with with every day for a month and any winnings are yours to withdraw (min withdrawal £20, so sometimes you need to top up to be able to withdraw.... if that makes sense!) You do need to play the free £5 every day to make sure you get the £5 the next day - but it takes almost no time at all as you don't even have to sit and watch, you can pre-purchase your cards and log out!

Hope this helps (more info on Hypno's thread about page 84/85!)
