    Hi guys

    Am off on my travels today again - woop woop ! House fully of Kids yesterday so am looking forward to today !

    Just wondered - any TECHIE ppl out there

    My DH is going to get me a smart phone - but I don't know what to go with - we can go pay monthly and get a free phone and free gifts etc... And 100mins ( prob enough ) but data is only like 100mb etc... Is this miniscule? Can anyone recommend the best thing to do? I am not fussed about too many minutes and don't know if i'll use the phone for much surfing as I have a tablet? But would I still need alot of data if say I came onto this sight while in Asda etc...? See totally clueless ? Any help much appreciated !

    Good Morning everybody I hope you are all well. I hope you all have a great Sunday. Happy shopping.
    Mortgage debt 45,000. Thank you all for your help so far in helping me save to buy the house. I could not have done this without all your help.

    Morning paw sniffers,

    Up at stupid o clock as I have a zillion things to do.

    DS home from uni today, so both my babies will be back:)

    Hoping the ff will still be working this morning:)

    Thank you for the nightshift ladies and gents there were so many posts I thought there had been a global glitch:)

    I'm dreading davemorton being off work over christmas:p:)

    And 3 dogs..... Think I might be a woolly back:)

    Enjoy them being home:T:TIt's so lovely isnt it:)

    One to ponder for today - is glitch/discount shopping a hobby or obsession/addiction ...?

    Discuss.

    For me, it moves between the two depending on the deal - probably closer to the latter when the glitch/discount/bargain stays on for a while as I cannot help going back for more. There is something very satisfying about it working :).

    Same here, it goes between a hobby and an obsession/addiction. Periodically it gets a bit out of hand and I pull back a bit;) But nothing you can do when you're in the middle of a full blown glitch, you get sucked in and their's no way back till it finishes ;);););)At the moment I confess I cannot go in a shop without checking every Glamour mag:o:o

    And flipping heck, you lot didnt half chat last night!:rotfl::rotfl:
    Beware!!!! Glitching is addictive:rotfl:

    well some might say a really good glitch is better than sex :)

    Tom:eek:

    It's not a hobby for me it's an obsession.

    That's glitching not sex by the way:)

    I have a smart phone and hardly use any data while browsing. It's downloading stuff that eats data. I think I have 500mb, but only ever use 200mb max. And I am constantly browsing:)
