    Thanks US. Beginning to wish we were on O2 but when we went to discuss tariffs the staff were so arrogant, in fact one actually said that we should be grateful to be part of O2 :eek: however, I hope as many people as possible, take advantage of all the offers.

    Just had a thought though - is that 'young' as in the normal definition of the term, or just young compared to you :rotfl:.

    DDs boyfriend has asked to come round, so I guess she has told him he's quite nice :rotfl:

    He wants to learn to cook whilst he is staying with us as his mother can't cook - I'm in heaven :j
