Kids!! bloomin pain in the arris they are :rotfl:

DS's phone bill comes in and hes gone £19 over his monthly bill :mad: we got him a contract phone for his birthday in may and the first 2 months he ran up 'not too bad' bills on the data useage as he was still trying to figure out the phone. Had a good chat with him about it and agreed to pay it myself, hes been very good the next 2 months, not a penny over, just got the bill and yep, data useage. In his defence he was told to only use it at home where he connects to our wi-fi, for some reason it hasnt been connecting and hes been using the rediculously overpriced data useage instead. Of course by the tiem I find out he's already racked up another £15 this month as well

Anyway, he was told that if his bill went over he would be paying it out of his pocket money, BUT as it was a bit of human error I have said I will not take it all at once (he has money from some stuff he sold that he was going to buy xbox live with) but will take £9 out of his xbox live money, then £5 out of his pocket money each month till its paid off.
If it had been purposeful i'd have had every penny off him right now, but I feel for the kid, he tried to do as he was told, but lack of reading what he was connecting too has lead to him paying alot of money

Well anyway, £12.50 into the pot, which included 4 x £2 coins from the post office, right back to setting the alarms on DS's phone for when he uses 1mb data

Don't know if this helps but if it is the internet usage that is putting your lad over his bill my OH put some kind of free app alert that warns you when you get close to your limit. We got our lad a new phone and he was worried about going over his limit. It is called My data manager.

I am a bit of a techno phobe so can't give you any more details other than that as OH is on nights. Any probs pm me and I will ask him and get back to you tomorrow. HTH x

Hi Everyone

Will be adding up my pennies on Thursday. Bags all ready.Going to the bank Friday!

Oh Jakes-Mum I collected 3 meercats for youngest GC thought they would be thrilled with them. They were totally freaked out with them lol Exxy ended up with them!!

Should have seen their faces :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Yes I know got a terrible sense of humor but it was funny. I did treat them to something else honest.

Ahh ty Mumof3plusoh hes normally really good, it was just a case of he had no idea he wasnt connecting to the house Wi-Fi, have set his phone up now with alarms that go off when he spends 1mb of data either on mobile internet or roaming will drive him mad :rotfl:

LC2, those meerkats are a bit freaky :eek: ours lived in a suitcase in the loft :rotfl: thought £12 was brillaint considering I didnt want it :rotfl:
