    Back from the tasting evening.
    Plenty of food and drink to sample. Shame I was driving so had to stick to the soft stuff.

    Disappointing that there were no goodie bags though.
    I did ask but they said they weren't given any to give out this time. :(

    Evening all.

    My task for tonight is to find a contract I phone 6 with unlimited everything without going bankrupt!

    I do love my children…. but may be not that as much as this is going to cost!

    Just had a lovely round trip to school and back, DD came home and went all sheepish when I asked her where her coat was.
    Coat turned up eventually. I'm surprised I have any hair left as DD drives me round the bend sometimes!
    I don't know how many times a day I hear 'I forgot' :mad:

    Thanks for the new thread.

    I have one of these daughters. Had a great conversation at dinner tonight. DS said do I have to go to the Xmas concert next week that DD is in. I asked DD what she was doing in the concert. She didn't know anything about the concert, or which songs she is singing.:rotfl: I have told her she needs to find out what she is doing, she will probably tell me the night before and by then all the tickets would have been sold. :eek:
  • Evening all.

    My task for tonight is to find a contract I phone 6 with unlimited everything without going bankrupt!

    I do love my children…. but may be not that as much as this is going to cost!

    Cheapest way to do it... Buy iPhone 6 outright, then get Sim Only contract. Best deal for this with unlimited on most things would be with 3 at around £15 per month.

    The phone outright is £539 (Plus 3% Quidco)
    Divide that by 24 (For 24 months the length of most contracts) it's £22.45 then add the £15 on per month for sim only... Real cost = £37.49 per month / £899 for the 24 months.

    On a contract your looking at paying around £100 up front then £40 a month, at an estimate over the 24 months that's £1060

    Saving you around £160. :o
