o2 seem to be very good, especially if you are a mobile customer. £50 cashback too. This would be our preferred choice if we lived somewhere other than the most dated telephone exchange area in the world.....

BT option 1 was also £50 cashback but more expensive each month - still cheaper than orange is going to be though.....so I think that is where we are going to end up.

Yeah I think it may well be O2 for me... Not got an 02 mobile but would be willing to switch to their pay as you go scheme as is seems marginally cheaper than my current Vodaphone one anyway! :T I don't use my mobile much so £10 minimum top up every 3 months to get the cheaper broadband looks good to me and about right for my usage! I've only got 32p credit with Vodaphone anyway! :rotfl: I've just applied for a free 02 sim. Anyone know how long it will take to appear? Sadly I'm pretty sure 02 is about the only company I haven't managed to gain a sim card for...

Hmmmm actually 02 used to be BT cellnet didn't it? I wonder if my old cellnet sim would do? Would it still be usable? Actually it'd be a miracle if I could find it 6+yrs later... :rotfl:

I've just changed over from virgin phone line broadband to virgin cable broadband .... today! .... Should be cheaper, more reliable, and £65 cashback from quidco. Startling variability in the level of help received from various call centre staff tho. And I might try to wean my client work away from that email address, so that I can have complete flexibility in the future.

Well, our roller coaster continues - DS has lost his doorkey sometime between locking the back door to go out to play.....and returning home an hour later :rolleyes:

I would be prepared to take the chance - unlikely that someone will find it and know that it belongs to this house But OH won't do that, so he has gone to buy a new lock and to get extra keys cut :rolleyes: Not cheap :mad:

Hate to say this - can you deduct a portion weekly from DS's pocket money?? (Um I didnt suggest that )

He did offer to pay.......

But I would prefer to use it as an opportunity for maximum chores being done over the summer holidays :rolleyes:

hypno06

Ah, the ironing is well under control nowadays, lucielle.....I will have to allocate him one or two other duties

You may well be covered on the house insurance for this, although you may need to consider the impact on renewal premiums of claiming
