    Hopefully just a day Bruno - not the end of the world but a PITA.

    Only a few more hours and I won't have to hold in my secret any longer - I hate having secrets and having a GREAT GIFT for someone that is within giving distance is awful for me. This is why I buy Christmas and birthday presents so far in advance, because by the time the occasion rolls around I no longer feel obliged to scream OMG I GOT YOU THIS every time I see them.

    I've composed and sent my (first annual) love note to the Adelphi Hotel as well, reminding them that they owe me £129 and an apology.
    Organised Birthdays and Christmas: Spend So Far: £193.75; Saved from RRP £963.76
    Three gifts left to buy

    And SS talking about money in the wrong account got me switching money all over the place :o Found my car insurance refund in the account I used to pay it from, not my new current account.. odd!

    Once I get my new phone, I can envirofone my old one for £20 :)

    OH has bizarrely taken money out the cash machine and given me it. Don't know why, he doesn't owe me anything (monetary at least :p). Don't know why he couldn't have transferred it cos now I've got to go to the bank with it! Grrrr..

    Phone contract? You mean you don't know whether to renew, or just how to? :)

    I think my original contract with Orange, 3yrs ago, was £35 a month, then went down to £25 a month and I was offered the upgrade to my current phone (good enough for me - better camera, everything else just about the same) for £20 a month for 400mins and unlimited texts and if I took it today, they'd lower it to £17 a month so that's what I did :)

    My contract is actually up on 12th April but with Orange you can renew within the three months prior to that :) I phoned and went through all the menu thingies and it said "Good news, you are eligible for an upgrade. Press X to discuss this with us" (or something like that). :)
