    nat21luv, I understand how you feel. DH gets paid better money in London, well not anymore, he took a pay cut last year, but hey that's another story. We want to move out of London, but he can't earn the same kind of money (even less) anywhere else. We did think about moving, and him working in London 5 days a week and then coming home at the weekend, but that would cause even more problems as he would expect to come home, see his friends, spend a little time with us, then head back again. Which means we would be arguing about him not spending enough time with us, etc.

    Do you need the extra money? Is that why OH applied for the job? Maybe you need to make a pros and cons list. Why it would be worth moving,pulling DS out of school, putting him in a new, unfamiliar school, etc. etc. Why it would not be good to move, do you need the extra money? Can you live without it, DS having to go a new school where he knows no one, etc.

    Good luck with whatever is decided.

    Nothing made today..I got bored part way through a surveynetwork survey..grief they can be so tedious sometimes.

    Still not sure about adding all the housing benefit back payment to my totals though even though it is money that i have had to fork out for rent out of my hard earned savings..will have a think about it and may add it later.

    I have some big bills coming up which need to be paid..yikes and I am also looking for part time work to keep the wolf from the door.
  • Hi everyone,

    I'm not sure if this is the right way to post to this thread or not? Hope I am not causing inconvenience to others.

    I cancelled the movie channels on my sky package before Christmas, bringing my monthly sky bill down to £17.62. However, I have been down with flu for the past few weeks, and asked for them to be put back on Jan 15th. Naturally this was a stupid move as I still have not watched anything, online, or otherwise. So, I telephoned sky today and cancelled that package again.

    So, thanks to this forum, I've now reduced my sky bill by £16.64 as of Feb 15th.

    I've also got £6 in my £2 challenge box.

    I'm really chuffed and am so happy to have found this site and all you kind supportive people :)

    I would be very grateful if someone could explain to me how I can add a signature to my postings, please.

    Thanking you for taking of your time to read this message. :)

    Yours sincerely,

    Samantha22

    I have used them about 6 or 7 times via work and usually send a whole padded envelope full of inks from all my branches. The amount you get is good, you have to wait a little while for the cheque or BACS payment to come through but they do always pay and their customer services are very helpful if you have any questions

    Try them out with just one or two inks if you are not sure and see if they work well for you. They give the best prices I have found yet.
