Yep, and this month it's to the tune of £87.98. So if I pay that on Wednesday when my giro is in, I'll have £30.40 to last me for bills/food/cat food+stuff untill Wed 11th July :eek:


Where the hell is my smutty phone contract! I need income!

I'm not doing too great on this challange, I've added up the tips I've kept from the last month or so and that is £44 and I've got £8 from selling a Body Shop voucher that I didn't want to a friend.
I've been doing my clicks when I remember but have been so busy I haven't had the time to really have a look at quidco and sign up to Lovefilm etc. Going to try and do that this weekend. Also need to find some more things to ebay. Where do people find the best internet competitions? Would be good to get some free things to ebay that way!

J, I've heard quite a few people on here that have rung up VM and said that they are gonna cancel their contract and go over to Sky cos VM have dropped channels, plus the on demand facilty has become carp. They have managed to haggle an excellent discount and stayed with VM. I really want to do it but really don't want to go to Sky so if they call my bluff I'm stuffed!! Maybe give that a go?

The thing is, I cancelled my tv package and gave away my tv months back, so I only use home land line and broadband. But since the switch to VM I've found the customer service to be terrible. I remember when still named NTL, I called up one month asking them to cut me off because I was out of work with no job on the horizon. They gave me half price home phone line, Broadband for £5pm and TV for Free, and all for three months untill I could get back to work.

when I called recently to ask how I could save money on my bill I was told alot of old cods-wollop (Ex bt staff here, I know how the competitor worked ). Anyway, im looking to leave them and if i cant then I just want to make sure that Im giving them as little of my hard saved cash as possible!


Sorry, rant over

LoLo

well, I decided to go with what you guys said and I opened my £2tin. I had a total of £220which I have banked today and came straight home and paid it off my egg card. I feel so much better for doing it so thanks.

There was no point in it sitting there doing nothing! You can start all over again now! Wooohooo!!
