Hello All
Seems like we're all doing well doesn't it.
Today I:- checked online banking and set up full payment of new CC for work expenses (am adamant that balance will not creep up - want to pay off in full every month)
- lunch was paid for me by a colleague
- walked to box office so as not to pay extortionate booking fee for theatre tickets for me and DD1
- ate yummy chicken pie made for me by OH from chicken carcass from our meatbox - usually would be good for stock but loads of meat left on it - enough for the pie and theres even leftovers:T

Chrisblue, hi i am a lurker. You poor thing. If poss request an itemised list of the numbers i hope you will get money back. That is frightening. It happened to me in a shared house and i couldnt wait to move out!
Good luck pet.

Thanks brizzledfw and Savingwannabe
Itemised bill has been downloaded and prepared on a spreadsheet. Don't want to move out as I own the house and "OH" is my partner !
Seriously, hoping call block to mobile numbers will make OH and our house guest see sense and if they whinge and ask why they can't call mobiles (haven't told them yet), I'll just produce the bill and say "Here's why...." If they can't see how stupid it is running up massive phone bills then they'll have to do without...plain and simple.
