    Not to be judgemental but if you have no job or income should you be paying for premium tv?

    My husband pays for this as he works and earns quite well. I dont believe I should be in the position Sky have put me in that's all! FYI - I got made redundant and have been unable to find permanent work - my temp work has taken me back down to a minimum wage after managing offices for years!!!!

    But, thankyou for not being judgemental - being so is easy when you dont know the situation

    Can't your husband pay the £20 then?

    You were the one that said you couldn't afford to pay upfront. The situation appears to be you are short of money.

    I think it's reasonable to ask if money is so tight whether the premium movie package on sky is a sensible thing to be spending money on.

    Well, thanks guys for all the advice - You dont know my circumstances, you dont know my situation - I asked for a response to a genuine query not a barrage of criticism based on something you know nothing about!

    This forum always used to be a friendly place where people could come for unbiased and non-judgmental advice - I see it has changed since I have been away!

    Money wasnt tight when we took the deal out - we got half price. I just dont feel they should be asking for it as it was free! THey told me it was sent 3 times - it hasnt EVER been sent - I was just asking if anyone could give advice - clearly they cant!

    You've been given advice from a couple of posters that looks useful and helpful (not mine of course). You've just chosen to ignore it.
