    thanks all

    for those wondering about our finances, we live paycheck to paycheck, i was supposed to get paid today but a computer error means we wont get it untill monday, and we paid the remaining balance on our daughters christening bits yesterday assuming i would be paid!


    thanks for the advice, it has been sorted now

    Bit off topic, but if you were supposed to be paid today, but won't actually receive your money until Monday, you might want to talk to your employer about that - they should at least pay any costs you incur as a result or maybe even sub you some money until Monday, if you are that tight for cash.

    Also make sure you look into other suppliers. It takes minutes to do and you may get some money back for switching.

    It may be that BG are the best for you (though I doubt it), but you wont have lost anything by checking.
