  • TBH MIT I dont spend that much on kiddy clothes and usually stuff in sale or Tescos. Its just with DD1 needing specialist school stuff it adds up. Not much I can do about trips except say no which I dont want to just yet.

    Been naughty today went to main office where I am offically based to show my face. It costs in petrol but can claim parking back so cheaper than the train. Then went to lunch and spent a tenner and agreed to go on a girly weeked away next year. Waiting to see if OH will ok the latter. Heard a colleague dies suddenly yesterday so am in shock. A lovely guy just shows you only live once.

    Expences completed so £132 due later this month - £10 to go against lunch!! and the rest on the diesel budget. Spent £50 ish filling the tank this morning.

    Kids cost a fortune don't they? DD1 has a party every other weekend and for some reason around her birthday month there's often two EACH weekend:eek: Makes me wonder what was going off in the world that everyone was procreating nine months previously LOL:D

    I'm with BT - had my first couple of bills for this first couple of months been in the new house and averaging just under £25 on the basic free evening and weekend package - is that what you have?

  • It should be the basic phone package and broadband but unlike talk talk the bills are quarterly and separate so I havent quite worked out the cost yet. TT used to be 25-30 including everything and caller id which we now dont have.

    I'm thinking May Day and May bank holidays and all the time inbetween!:confused::D

    KP - my BT phone as said been coming in £23-£24 (line rental + calls - make more daytime calls than I should as at home in the day) and asked BT to put me on monthly billing for broadband so they said £16 per month.
