    We'll be getting an extra £50 a month from next payment so i guess they do that rather than pay a lump sum. nevr mind :D it would have been nice to get the £600 now though.
    The lump sums are where they've underpaid from the previous year.

    MFD - I have a contract phone and I still have to pay to dial my voicemail. I am on Vodafone. However, if I phone my own number, I can connect to voicemail and it's not charged. In case that's any use!


    I have taken the plunge and made a docs appointment for next Wed. Thanks for all your words of sympathy!

    Stupid question but if you have a PAYG phone do you pay to call your voicemail?
    You do on Orange. OH doesn't on his T-mobile but it's a very old tarrif which yo can't get any more so not sure if it's standard.

    Any. I need to buy a phone for work that will only be used to receive texts and to call voicemail. It will never make a call or send a text to another phone.

    That is interesting. I could call in from the work phone to retrieve the messages. Can you manage messages from another phone too? So could I delete them?

    Can't stop got to take the boys to the dentist, I'm feeling stupid because I meant to make an app for me before my freeness ran out and I forgot :doh: I'm gonna end up paying a fortune for some kind of wisdom tooth thing at some point in the next year, there's no way I can hold out until I have another maternity exemption :rotfl:
    Also forgot to put in a repeat for my eczema steroid cream so Mel do you remember from your dispensing days if there is an OTC steroid cream? I totally begrudge paying £7 or whatever it is now for a piddly little tube of cream! might just keep using the one I have even though it's about to go out of date :undecided

    toodles!

    Thanks for the reminder, I need to book a check up. Also personally I'd keep using the old cream.

    Just had te lovely Gymfiend and the gorgeous Guy round for a cuppa, both are happy and well and coming to the sling meet on 23rd :D

    We have an old mobile that we use for comping and Dave's mother... Seeing as she's the only one that ever leaves messages and we don't want to pay to top them up, Dave rings from his mobile (free o2-o2) and listens to / deletes from there :)
    A very proud Mummy to 3 beautiful girls... I do pity my husband though, he's the one to suffer the hormones...
    Krystal is so smart and funny and wonderful I am struck dumb in awe in her presence.
