    Elfen,
    I have all three. It would cost £25 on the basic package but I also have all day free phone calls which is an extra £7.

    It is cheaper but looking at SamKnows I can't get Virgin....so I might be better off looking at home phone and broadband, so peeps, let me know what you've got and with whom!

    I have a working spare truck key - second visit lucky :)

    I have also collected my dissertation from uni - not as much tutor feedback as I expected - I guess as I failed so badly the first time there was more to write :D:D

    Now making a cup of tea :)

    Elfen, I got rid of my landline ages ago, and just have mobile/ mobile broadband. I got a T Mobile phone which you could also use as a modem.. but then broke it, so don't actually use that any more. At Mr S's we have Freeview and an Orange mobile broadband dongle thingy - £4.99 a month but it's only 500MB so only good if you don't want to download lots. I have loads of mobile minutes and he has PAYG.
    Debt@16.12.09 £10,362.38, now debt free as of 29.02.2012.

    I've got mobile broadband but the signal is pants. Most of the calls I make are usually to landlines or 0845/0870/0800 numbers and I'm sick of the hefty charges for them. That, and I want to talk to my mum/mates with landlines for longer without worrying about the bill.

    good luck down.

    I just did the online free trial for my credit record. I am so proud of me for looking - if only I understood it :rotfl:

    I think you're being positive?!!!:T
    I've just had a thought - how are those of us going to Bristol going to recognise each other?

    Don't expect to see much of me on here today unless I get completely manically hysterical. Sent my CV through today to a charity we went to see (as part of my voluntary work). The guy we'd seen told me they were having a bit of a recruitment freeze. He's rang me back and emailed 2 jobs both with a closing date of lunchtime tomorrow (I go to Bristol tomorrow!). One of them is Assistant Director :eek:

    Think I'll be going for the other. Does give me a bit of confidence in touting my CV in Newcastle next week.

    congratulations Butti

    I was thinking the same about Bristol, was hoping someone would be at the station the same time as me :) I'm easy to spot, just look out for someone with a dodgy arm (one arm smaller than the other and a bit bent out of shape lol)
