    Okay I think I know partly where the problem lies.

    My Virgin deal is £35 a month with TV phone and Broadband util October 2012.

    My latest bills are as follows:

    £169 for 2 months worth.

    And since my last bill which is due to come out on the 6th of June I've used Charges since your last bill£54.93 this much.

    Time to phone up virgin I say and put a cap on the telephone usage

    Do you have kids Nicole? thats one hefty bill :eek: def phone cap time :(

    OK why is there always one cheeky so and so who emails you on e*ay and offers you a cheeky price (in cash as if that makes it sweeter) for what your selling? Ive put up my auction with a starting price of what I am willing to accept and lo and behold a 3 word offer (which also annoys me as it just makes me think hes gone down the list copy and pasting his offer) £500 less than my starting price.
    Im afraid my response was equally as abrupt as im selling it cheap as it is :(

    I do but they are 2 and 6 years old LOL

    It's me.. I've just phoned up and I'm not paying £2.50 a month to ban all outgoing calls to mobiles but he has given me a pin thing to put in so if we ever need in an emergency to do it we can unblock it for one call.

    I hoped there was an option to ban on amount, say if I spent £20 on my phone in a month it would automatically ban all outgoing calls but apparently Virgin don't have this

    Maybe a review of your tariff could help too, or lok at a cheap top up phone just for mobiles.

    Well no debt busting but a stinking headache, whilst debt busting I've been campaigning for faster broadband in my local area as we are being bypassed for fibre which is impacting on my work and means I have to run two phone lines.
    So went to a meeting last might with 3 MP, a man from the BDUK funding and two people from BT. Usual corporate spiel but after a lot back and forth BT changed their mind.

    So to celebrate got a bottle of wine and woken up with a sore head. On the plus side husband got a cash bonus so need to pop some money in the bank which will be Wednesday now so gotta wait for more debt busting

    Well done :)


    I have a contract phone which ismy t-mobile that I use for work as I can claim it back as an expense. And I have an O2 top up phone but I just seem to use them all a lot... Maybe I should stop speaking to so many peopleLOL

    Have a look at what you are doing, can you sign into your O2 online and review it?

    I had a look ay my mobile at the back end of last year I was paying over £70 a month. Now on one of their new deals with 900 minutes and unlimited text for £34.00 and thats reckless there are cheaper deals. Have a look at gift gaff or do a comparison.

    Well on the subject of review just opened the letter from the tax man and I have gone from being a K385 to a K406 to a 9T. Long and short next month salary will go back up by £72.89. Though I'm sure that will change again its only the 6th notice I've had this year!
