    Well most of the kitchen is resurrected,but I need to regrout some tiles..which will make the remaining ones look dirty so I'll end up doing the lot:(
    I have just had a letter from Calor gas saying it's going up 5.5p per litre:eek:,total of 43.5p!! Flogas quoted me 37p so I've switched...(we have no mains gas in the village,so we use a bulk lpg tank...)

    I do free daily scratch with chit chat bingo.

    My new phone has arrived, not sure i like it, Phoned orange to cancel my contract, only to be told that it doesn't end till the 8th of July :eek:. Explained Carphone warehouse phoned me up and told me it had ended, they got the dates wrong :(, anyway he asked what deal i got with three and what phone, so i told him lg phone (can't remember modle number) 300 mins and unlimited internet and texts for £19 a month. Told him carphone ware house only offered me unlimited texts and 100 minutes a month for £15 to stay with orange, He offered me a samsung phone higher spec than the one i have now, with wifi built in, 500 mins unlimited text and internet £15 a month for 18 months :eek:, so guesse whaT? the lg is going back :) (only snag is i won't get the £80 cashback now )

    He also sorted out bens contract due to run out the same time (not as good a deal because he didn't have as much money accumilated or something) 600 mins unlimited text and internet £20 a month, the only snag is its a 24 month contract not 18 month and a cheaper phone (not worrying he has a brand new touch phone any way.)

    So i've saved £20 a month on the 2 contracts :T so i'm happy, plus i can get money for my old phone. plus we both got more minutes and unlimited internet thrown in :) Whats the best company to go through to trade in old phones? or do you think ebay?
