    Hi DC !

    We have also been toying with the idea of switching to Sky Or Virgin but sometimes its a case of better the Devil you know. Although I must admit BT do pi$$ me off especially when they charge you £4.50 for processing your payment:eek:

    Our phoneline is now with sky and we get free calls and think it costs about £16 per month? Broadband is through OH's work. I am only now disciplined for pay for things in whole now, so have always paid by direct debit.

    Hope you're all good, I've not checked in with you for a while

    2nd debt - MBNA - £6,618.52
    First in many many to go - baby steps and all that!
    First lump sum to go - fingers crossed!

    Hope the meeting goes ok. We had some issues with DS last year which I found really upsetting but the teachers were excellent, but I know how hard it is.

    Well done on the packed lunch thing - it is just a matter of being organised I think!
