    Share the bill with the Wife or Husband haha :p :eek::rotfl:

    As i am single this does rule me out haha but least i get the remote hey haha :p:p

    :rotfl:

    Just you wait until your DS rules the remote...or do you plan to make him pay half ;)

    Now there's an idea... *pocket money minus half tv license cost = ooh, that's doable* :rotfl: I've already said Sky is going once he goes to Uni as I don't watch it.

    Ohh you spoil DS with sky sports I love sports myself and manage without sky sports my old man has sky sports and pays for his package over £100 a month for movies ect

    Sky sports was an extra £30 i think this isnt a lot really if he watches it a lot you know so worth it if it keeps him busy we all got to have interests in life :]
    Ill keep mine at 29.99 haha

    Instead of taking money of DS ill be spending it on x-mas stuff priceless tho wouldn't change it for the world :]

    I may even treat my mortgage to x-mas pressie this year with a OP haha

    Not the Sports bit, no...just the family package, discounted 12 month deal at £14.75 a month after negotiations :D

    Definitely treat your mortgage to an OP (and DS!) for Christmas...last year I sent the mortgage a Christmas bonus on top of an OP - not sure it'll be doable this year as new office I saw Saturday is moving forward slowly and will eat up some personal money but I'll give it a good go :)

    I love my sports - but I've settled with Now TV after being a long term Skysports subscriber. I got to the point where I would only pick certain games, such as big football clashes, and buy the day pass. Assuming I didn't do it too often (once a month ish) then it worked out cheaper.
