Honey Bear see below from MSE re 0300 numbers
What you pay on 0300s…

• The same cost as a normal call. Whatever tariff you’re on the cost of an 0300 number is the same as calling a normal phone number.
• If your calls are free, it’s free. So if you’ve got free inclusive calls, then calling 0300 won’t cost you. E.g. If you’re on BT’s free evening calls package then call 0300 in the evening and the call is free; but if you pay for a call in the day, you’ll pay for an 0300 during the day.
• This works on mobiles too. If you’ve inclusive minutes on your mobile the 0300 number will be included in that.

Alternative, if you search for TV Licensing Contact Us there is an online enquiry which you can send to them which would be free.

I'm off to work in 20 mins. It's a beautiful day today! Why can't the weather be like this on days I don't work?

I've S/S the kitchen and unloaded the DW. Washing is just finishing and will go on the line.

I spent far to much money yesterday avoiding DS1. To top it all off I've booked myself a little break in the Canaries when DH takes the offspring to CentreP@arcs with his parents and [STRIKE]witches[/STRIKE] sisters. I'm quite confident to go on my own. All I want to do is get some rays and read a few books.

DS1 is still causing problems. He didn't go to work yesterday, DH is still trying to put a positive spin on the situation. Cold hard fact is that he is lazy and unmotivated so doesn't go and there is no comeback. Zero hour contracts are a terrible idea.

Excellent! Now what on earth stopped me seeing that JTTOS! I was all over the website yesterday and found a multitude of ways to stop paying cash but the DD bit was as vague as could be. Normally I'm pretty good at spotting Contact Us but for some reason this time, I missed it. Thank you JTTOS and Mummyroysof3.

I love Flyladies. You are the most helpful, politest, friendliest, most supportive bunch of people I have ever come across. Thank you everyone who keeps this thread going by contributing, not least of course the lovely Dusty and Natty.

ive posted this in your original thread about it honey in case it makes anyone else feel like posting something or correcting what ive said

i remember having this conversation with my DD a while back and she said something along the lines of she was told you would have to pay the full amount upfront within a month of cancelling the monthly DD
so i think what she meant was if you currently have a quarterly DD set up you would need to during the second month of the last quarter change the DD to an annual payment of the full licence amount then cancel the quarterly DD.
does that make sense?

I need company!!!


HHC NOW.. until I collapse in a heap or OH gets home (about 12:25ish) ... I shall start with the laundry and DW.. I may even get the kitchen mopped.. now.. loo, slippers and making a start...


Updating because I'm not moving much..


Stinky bum changed (not mine)
upstairs bins emptied and recycling out
loo cleaning itself.
binbag rubbish removed from boys room
Laundry in
5 loads dried, folded and put away
DW x2
WM x3
Baby fed/rocked/cuddled/played with LOTS.. it appears she is getting her second tooth and she is just wanting to be held.. I guess that takes priority.. she will be grown a lot longer than she will want cuddles like this.

I'm here, ill keep you company. I'm finishing making a cushion for mothers day for my mum then got to tidy the scraps up and make the lounge look less like a sewing shop

Pigpen - will join you at 11:30.

Just got in from shopping - DH would be annoyed if he felt the weight of my shopping trolley:eek:. You just shouldn't be able to buy so much for so little in Mr A*di!!!!

I am decluttering a coffee and half pkt cussie creams (13p worth) and they are lovely - then I'll have the energy to finish the bathroom!

Honey_Bear

That, Mrs MoneyPenny is exactly the rest of the information I needed before I made the change - thank you so much!

I have been dipped and stripped and am off out to lunch with an old boss to catch up on works gossip - it had better be juicy.

Should have known today would include the stairs, LOL.


Yesterday I started on the room and decided now the girls are (almost) 5 and 6 that while I was at it, it was time for most of their toys to go upstairs... So I piled them all onto the stairs with intentions of getting all the kids to run them up last night. It never got done so guess what I'm doing today... Grrr, why, oh why didn't I leave them where they were.
Will start on the bathroom and landing first and work my way down, hopefully it will be home time and they can join in the toy run.
Mist seems to be lifting so might put some more washing in and put the airers outside.
Going to finish my coffee and make a start.

I'm in plz sorry I'm late again .. I'm starting to feel better slowly ..
Found out yesterday my mother is remarrying (only know cuz a distant family member told me) we haven't been invited ... (yippee I don't have to find an excuse of why we didn't turn up)

This place was starting to become tidier .. and it's slowly deteriorating !! So I'm off to fly and see what I can get done before picking Ds1 up from school x
