    OK TalkTalk - I see from MSE today they reckon TalkTalk is one of the easiest to get a reduced deal from http://www.moneysavingexpert.com/phones/negotiate-with-service-providers?utm_source=MSE_Newsletter&utm_medium=Email&utm_term=09-Apr-13&utm_campaign=phones&utm_content=99

    Anybody got experience of haggling with TalkTalk and what did you achieve? TIA
    I rang them up and asked when my contract was up ,(I knew I was just out of contract really:D)They asked why I was asking and told them I was just checking deals . Took out a new 12month contract half price for 12months . :D
    Never pay more than you have too

    On Radio news last night it said they had found traces of Bute .. We all know that means horse too :(.

    Without the Bute(!), corned beef hash (like a white stew - add a crust for a pie!) tastes lovely with brown sauce and mushy peas :).

    OOhhh havnt had corned beef hash in years, remember it was lovely.
    Afternoon all, not been on for a long while (I had only been on briefly during the milk tray shop) but have been looking in more recently. Was carer to my mum and brother but sadly both passed away 8 weeks apart. Just getting my self together now.

    No cheese at Bridge of Dee last night but yesterday afternoon
    I did find cheese at the beach. Hope this helps. Many thanks to the Cheese/Pies/Biscuits ops as I have managed to share the goodies between family.

    Thinking of all who are going through it just now. Take care. xx

    Sorry to hear this sad news.

    Funny place to find cheese, at the beach.

    Hi :)

    I phoned them up a bit back just to ask when my contract with them ran out cos I couldn't remember:o. Never mentioned moving or anything and they instantly offered me 1/2 price BB for a year (£3.25 from £6.50)

    Well I went to our shiny new Marks this morning and it also has a cafe and its open 8 to 8 so a good addition to our portfolio of supermarkets.

    I was going to just dash home to check the updates but I am now pinned to the sofa by Sophie who must have got really cold outside this morning, purring her head off :)

    I am now even more confused, had hoped to just follow some lists this morning :D

    So its Sada v sainsbobs for a cheese shop. One light mature and one mat??? I also noticed Pepsi max eight can packs £2.50/£1.99 so a good filler.
    So if I also get 6 simples will this give me too big an APG - not that I've worked out which 6 simples and not that I can actually justify getting simples unless the glitch is really good :D

    And Sheba salmon is a Sada v tosco shop?

    I also like the bold lavender someone thought of this morning £7/£3 - this might be just what I need with a selection of del montes and canned toms to get a £20 shop together for tosco

    Yes they sell them in Staffs, but the clue might be in the name
    Nowehere near as good as the properly fresh made ones
    Thanks, yes I know they sell them in Staffs, but my point is why have TCB done a snap on an item that is not available throughout the whole UK?

    you can buy them in lancashire,not looked in T`s or A`s for them though.
  • I guess you mean £45 per month not week.

    You need to challenge this and they should remedy it.

    Just cancelling DD is probably not enough as (if you have entered into a new contract) they'll chase you for bad debt.

    On saynoto0870 there are usually some working free phone options.

    However, I find SkyTV quite amenable to giving you reduced packages if you are nice on the phone and firm about termination as too expensive/ unaffordable for your budget.

    See my next post re TalkTalk though pls! :D

    Hello. Thanks for that. Also thanks to the other poster who asked me to check if it was correct. Finally got through to live chat. The live chat usually says no advisors currently online. so if you click email link, then suddenly one becomes available.

    Anyway, they say that its only that price #48.87 to be precise - the first month as they take into account, the time you've had it for already. I think that's what they said. Then the monthy payments will be #22.00 per month after that. So I have set up the direct debit again. Will see what happens. Its a pity you can't set up a standing order instead. That way, you don't have to waste time and money getting in contact with them when they make a mistake and/or start charging you more!
