    I can change my PAYG deal? How? I thought I was stuck with what I originally bought?
    Proud to be dealing with my debt:eek:

  • I don't know what network you're with, but my youngsters are with orange and they used to change their packages so that the cheaper minutes were at the times they needed them. If you think about when you use your phone most, are you able to get that calls at that time reduced?

    How is the running going? I bet you were pleased to see the end of the slippery pavements so you can get out a bit more.

    Any news from the invigilator applications? If you wanted to find out about being a poll clerk, your district/borough council will have a team that deals with it ours is called 'Electoral Services'. They are getting geared up for staff now, apparantly the gov't can call an election with only 17 days notice or so my letter from them says, so they won't have time to advertise and train staff in those 17 days!

    Have a good day....

    Thanks CBM, will look into the poll thing quickly as seems dates for an election are being banded round, and have to call the exam people today to see how the CRB transfer is going.

    I will ring vodafone today about the business phone, I have to do something!

  • How did you get on with Vodaphone? Another thought, if its a business phone, can you not claim all the money back?

    Am alive, not much happening on the debt free front, though have decided not to beat myself up tooooooo much about not clearing the CC's by today:D

    Lease on the house is up in April so have started looking around for somewhere to live, but looks like I will be lumbered wilth paying all the bills when I move.

    On the up side am ahead with the OU work for once, though they have been a pain....but I will get there.

    As for the training side it is going really well.......did an adventure race today to break up the usual race calender:rotfl:what a laugh:rotfl::rotfl:

    myself and my team mates ran 2 miles, mountain biked 10 miles, ran 2 miles, kayaked 1 mile and ran another 2 miles.......closely followed by a team plank exercise, a scramble net and a slidy wall:rotfl:but what a laugh......I will be doing it again:D
