    If is makes you feel any better my pay monthly bills were never under £150 when I was 17 - 21. Unfortunately I paid for them myself.

    I am now on Pay Monthly 'sim free' (would never get into another handset contract) £10 per month gets me unlimited texts, unlimited blackberry data/BBM/Email, 300 any network calls plus unlimited o2 to o2 calls and unlimited wifi.

    I got my sim when it was on offer around 2 year ago so if the sim is still only £10 I think the allowance will be less than what I get.

    You lot are spoil! :rotfl:I came from a very strict family - 17 yrs old & you spent so much!!! my parent would have kicked me out of the house if my eldest sister haven't kill me yet.:D

    Vicx, can you post the link that is similar to what you are getting please:beer: - told my DS that I am not paying £10/month & he offered to pay £5/month to me. Which means any dosh he saved from B'day or part-time working (when he feels like it) @ pizza restaurant will be coming back to me;) actually I am not that cruel - any dosh they give me, I put it into their saving account (without them knowing):D
    RIP my dear dear parent : Mum aged 62 (17/5/1990) & Dad aged 89 (23/1/2012)

    I am on sim only pay monthly, not pay as you go.

    I'm not sure if my tariff still exists, will have a look.

    It doesnt look like O2 have a Blackberry sim only tariff on pay monthly but it did exist..

    https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/2446559

    (After a few months I got the unlimited o2 to o2 calls added on for free when it was on promotion).



    This is a great offer although you would need to add the Blackberry bolt on:

    PROMOTION: Choose the £15.50 12 month tariff and get a £5 discount for 6 months. The tariff comes with 600 minutes, 300 O2 to O2 minutes and unlimited texts. Offer ends 1st March 2012.

    Plus free £25 shopping voucher :)

    :hello:Morning Jefferey and everyone. I'm in the process of going through my SSM coupons for a Tesco shop and was just about to put on one side the duracell coupons when I saw on My Super these

    031132.jpg
    Duracell Plus AAA Batteries (4) Duracell
    £3.25 any 2 FOR £3.75 (81.3p/46.9p/Battery)

    031130.jpg
    Duracell Plus AA Batteries (4) Duracell
    Advanced longer life. £3.25 any 2 FOR £3.75 (81.3p/46.9p/Battery)

    If they don't come up as N/A then they could be a good buy with the £1 mocs as they are £3.50 in Tesco. I think I'll give them a try and if they come up as N/A I got the wrong ones;)
    These were not on offer in my T;s this afternoon , just the blue pack ones which were £4.99 bogof

    You could have got some FREE batteries from AnnSummers 2 weeks ago when they had the £5 free gift voucher offer. ;)
