Normally before MS I would burst into tears when I had news that a bill had gone up - but not now!
I got an electricity bill last week which said my payments were going up by £11 a month. "I'm not paying that!" I proclaimed.
My mam reckoned I would have to just pay it and live with it, but I explained to her about this site and that I had no intention of just paying what the asked and have vowed to shop around for a better price.
I just want to say thanks to everyone site, it's because of everyone's support that I am changing from a blubbering idiot to a pro-active moneysaver!
Cheers !
