    Recently did this deal for DW for a very nice Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc S (allegedly the 4th best phone on the market at the moment) for less than 100 and all contracts are always free for 12 months with cashback - generally about 600 mins, unlimited texts and 1gb data. Handset should be worth at least what I paid for it after 12 months so basically free. Can't understand why people pay for their mobiles.
    I need to get a smartphone in the next month or so... clicked the link but was deafened by the WHOOSH noise as what was on there went right over my head :(

    I'd like a phone with a keyboard, that has the biggest screen possible and longest battery life possible and lets me have 1GB internet (or more) and lets me surf t'Internet.

    And I want it to have a good camera, so I can take good snaps with it.

    Are you saying you love us 50p a month much? Thats like, five frozen kababs isn't it? ;). I feel very warm and fuzzy. :)

    Thinking about it, we should be careful what we wish for. Frozen kebabs could be the currency in Greece in a couple of months time.

    Secret Millionaire's a bit different. Some heiress to a mult-billion pound inheritance, who has spent a life being waited on and never even been in a house alone, is off to be the secret millionaire... but she'll be watched/monitored 24/7 by a crack team of highly trained security staff/minders.

    Descended from Indian royalty and daughter of a self-made billionaire. Simrin Choudrie. She's married to another self-made billionaire and is 7 months pregnant.

    Do you know anyone who's bereaved? Point them to https://www.AtaLoss.org which does for bereavement support what MSE does for financial services, providing links to support organisations relevant to the circumstances of the loss & the local area. (Link permitted by forum team)
    Tyre performance in the wet deteriorates rapidly below about 3mm tread - change yours when they get dangerous, not just when they are nearly illegal (1.6mm).
    Oh, and wear your seatbelt. My kids are only alive because they were wearing theirs when somebody else was driving in wet weather with worn tyres.     :)

    Nah, they just wanted to chat. The disaster of being an academic, everyone changes job every so often. Surreal.

    I should be asleep too. I have way way way too much work to do....

    You're telling me - I have an early meeting tomorrow and wanted to be asleep by 10.30 after a very broken night last night but have only done about half my regular surfing tasks this evening :(

    Yep! The joys of running my site...
    We made it! All three boys have graduated, it's been hard work but it shows there is a possibility of a chance of normal (ish) life after a diagnosis (or two) of ASD. It's not been the easiest route but I am so glad I ignored everything and everyone and did my own therapies with them.
    Eldests' EDS diagnosis 4.5.10, mine 13.1.11 eekk - now having fun and games as a wheelchair user.
