    Because they are twonks and they change your contract when you upgrade your bb allowance cos you've gone over every month

    :mad:

    So I've a years contract left on it cos I changed the service.

    On the positive if we get the wee cottage there's only BT there I think so they can transfer and switch on for free.

    We'll do the sums when I'm gone and ready to shift.:o

    Ummm...is this on the basis of them telling you that they've autorenewed you onto a new 12 month contract, by any chance? Or have you actually changed onto a new contract with them in the last few months, I can't remember whether you did, ion the end, although I know you were looking at internet costs etc a while ago. #

    If it's the autorenew thing - ie your current contract with them had expired a while ago - then let me know and I'll get MrEH to tell you what to quote at them, they already know this is dubious legally and they can't get away with it.

    Thanks EH - I'll look over the paperwork we upgraded I know that much but the 'exact' terms I forget but I do have the mutterings in my diary.

    Handy things and thank you love.

    Waves back - still in pjs must do list before town and dress before getting in the actual car. This isn't the big smoke where people go out in onzies and pjs - not yet anyway.

    :D

    PAD to card mutated to £170 - 165 towards move raised by selling stuff and £5 wine money.

    Seemed to make sense.

    Card now equals £1890
