    It is. Account is now blocked although the client hasn't accepted the article so now have to wait. It says 7 days although I think it has taken longer for some people.

    How many have you done so far DF?

    Have just been haggling with T-Mobile as my contract is due to expire. I have been on a £5 a month deal for the last 2 years after getting them to bring it right down while I was paying off debt.

    Need a new phone now though as this one is on the way out so....a sparkly new iPhone 4S will be arriving on Friday :j

    I got 2000 minutes, unlimited texts and unlimited internet for £26 a month so very happy with that :D

    I am very excited! Probably too excited :o

    My phone is so old and rubbish now though, and keeps breaking, so I'm trying not too feel to bad for going for a more expensive contract. Worked out I saved £720 over the last 2 years keeping that phone and having the cheaper contract so I can say I've paid my dues to the debt cause as it were. I hope so anyway!

    Plus, I really want an iPhone, so there! :p

    Don't feel bad, you got a great deal!! I'm paying more than that.

    Plus, you can earn money from your iPhone sometimes. I do surveys that can only be done on there and other opportunities crop up sometimes to earn cash on there. :D

    That's all the justification that I need :D I did promise myself I would do more eBaying once I got it, make it pay for itself a bit.

    Can't believe I have to wait till Friday, I want it now :o

    I was like that too, even arranged to collect mine from the shop so I didn't have to wait all day for it to be delivered :rotfl:
