    OMG derrr!!! I forgot to say the most important news! lol

    My OH has been promoted again in his job, he doesnt know how much more money he will be getting yet as my OH asked to do a trial month to show how good he can be before they decide on how much more they up his wages for.

    Well dont to your OH on his promotion!

    O2 do a rolling contract that is fairly cheap. You could always try and negotiate something with them when yours runs out, I got quite a good deal with them.

    Hi Maria,

    Well done on reaching your £5 a day target, and congrats to OH.

    I'm with Orange, pay £15 (incl tax), for 400 x network min, 1300 text msgs and unlimited landline and magic numbers, it's a good deal really, plus I got 80mb internet usage is as well. Look around, other networks might be cheaper. And don't forget quidco ;).

    Thanks guys!

    Im a bit of a sucker for O2 ive tried all the top networks and O2 always seem to have the best coverage around my area.

    I was on the O2 rolling contract but wanted unlimited web so switched to 12 months sim only. I get 800 mins, 1600 texts and unlimited web. But still i go over on texts!!!!! And i only use about 200 mins per month.

    Really i want unlimited text and web thats why i thought the PAYG sim would be good. But like you said wendz i will see what they can offer me when i call to cancel.

    I was bored yesterday and put on a couple of football bets and won £8.25 but also lost £5.

    Hello! 1st of Feb! yay, glad thats Jan over for another year :D

    First off has everyone seen the Ebay email that they will no longer force us to give free postage anymore on dvd's, games etc like they were! From the 8th feb there will be max postage cost instead! Well i think they should refund us and on the games etc we have sold and sent out free!
    But thats good as i send mine by recorded so it was costing me nearly £2 to send them.

    Still no word at my work yet if there going to change our contracts, hopefully if they have any brain cells they will just empoly two people rather than one.A weekday and weekend person then they won have to ask us to come in or change contracts. It would make sense will there interviewing people now to dont that, but we will see.

    My rizla prize i won december finally came, its just a mobile phone cover!....rubbish for me as it doesnt fit it! So i gave it to my dad. haha

    Also my creme egg prize came friday, which was a keyring with one of those coins on the end that your put in trolleys instead of £1 coins. I havent been to a shop that has those on there trolleys in years! but still useful just incase. :D

    I keep entering around 30 comps a day but not having much luck yet.

    Hey the small prizes are still cool. I just got an email to say I'd won some toni and guy shampoo and conditioner. I'm happy, some expensive treats for my hair that I wouldn't buy normally.
