damsel in distress

Morning everyone, haven't post on this thread before. Be gentle with me if i'm in the wrong place.

I've tried to do the live on 4k a year chall. Have just totted up what i have spent on phone, internet and tv, all provided by BT. Big shock.:eek: As i got a discount when i tried to leave last Jan. Thought i was doing really well.

Costing for the year 2009 Total £937.27 per month £78.00

Phone and internet unlimited anytime plan £697.99
TV Bronze pack £129.28
Pay as you go mobile £110.00

I am so busy looking at car insurance and food costs, which i thought were the things running away with my cash, feel a bit foolish when i read on other forums what other people pay.
Does anyone think that i am paying too much? or is it just me.

Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks BTxx :A

    Do you really need the TV package? Try Freeview & maybe rent films?

    Morning everyone, just to up date.

    My BT phone is in contract until 1st March 2010, at £18.45 on the unlimited anytime plan. So thinking of moving to sky.

    My BT broadband is in contract until 23rd of September at £15.99 per month. Thinking of sky also for this.

    Vision tv is £19.00 per month. Looking like sky too.

    Have ask to have whole bill monthly DD. So will be able to see what i am using each month at the moment. Will be lurking here to keep up to date. BTx
