    Blimey! That's a lot of money!

    Maybe I'll wait until I'm MF to have a kid! They're so small but so expensive...

    SR

    lol, I know! :rotfl:

    I think it's just bad while they're both in nursery. Hopefully it'll slowly get better from here on out....!

  • Great update from you SR. That's a lovely £££££ saving to make from changing very little about your life comforts.

    I do have a question though
    48.99 VIRGIN - ouch! cheaper package for 28 saving 20 x 12 = 240

    We pay this £48.99 for virgin. Is your cheaper package still with virgin or with another company. We're looking to save money on this but would quite like to keep our virgin box and internet.

    Cheers MIB x

    It's the TiVo which has kept us on the expensive package too, but we're seriously thinking of dropping it as well...

  • Thanks SR (and Lannieduck)

    we need to investigate this. We have a tivo but spend most of our time watching netflix, iplayer or kids TV.

    Need to find a (convenient) way to get access to the programmes we want without giving virgin so much cash :-)
