    Well i keep getting on the final stretch then seem to get snatched back by the knicker elastic sometimes..:rotfl::rotfl:

    I sent an email to Sky last week, cancelling my subscription with them. They just rang up and offered me movies and all other channels( not sports) subscription for £20 a month..i am still considering, as i have a month to decide due to billing dates. What does everyone reckon?

    Oh and forgot to say that car was recalled due to some manufacturing thing, so new replacement part fitted today for free with Nissan. So not a bad day really :)

    If you would like to keep the package then it's a good deal.
    If you were cancelling because you're not bothered about keeping it and would rather have the money, it's not worth it.
    If you're undecided, then it's a good compromise. ;)

    I am undecided- i keep getting wails of "Oh but we will pay towards it..and there will only be arguments if Sky + is gone" Whereas my argument is that there will be more arguments paying for it..

    I keep thinking of how much i can save, although i could give them beans everyday to stop the arguments ;)

    And i just noticed i miss spelled cancelling and it now shows up as a spelling mistake on my spell checker :( canceling doesn't ..think i must have the checker set to American spelling again.

    Mr.B didn't get me my cake holder :( He is in the dog house now..but good news is that after his snoring exploits this week, he is sleeping downstairs for a change.. Bedroom is mine, with nice bedlinen on and no mess So all is good there.

    And this is where we find out "downstairs" is a euphemism for "under the patio"...
