    I see you're looking at GB, I was thinking bigger...Worldwide.
    Oh, I see. Samsung have the largest share at 21%, apple is next at 14%. Obviously this is phones, not OS.

    Motorola must be sick, they only have a 5% share (including everything else under the Lenovo umbrella). when if you think back 10 r 20 years how they must have had a massive %age of the market share.

    And poor old Nokia. :eek:

    Mr TS still has his old Nokia he won't go smart. :o Well I say he has his old one, he is on his third now. :rotfl:

    When his starts to give up he finds someone's old cast off as a replacement. I have kept 2 of the girls old ones not sure what he will think when they are the only ones he can lay his hands on as they are more ancient than the ones he has been getting from work. :eek:

    He had to use a Samsung for a couple of weeks back along, until someone was leaving work, and giving back their phone they were all originally issued with Nokia mobiles, he was like a bear with a sore head with it. :o

    Some decent freebies on COS/CS for Super Yummies kids snacks :j

    Breadsticks £1.69 on CS/Free on COS
    Yogurt Pouches £1 on CS/Free on COS
    Rice Cakes £1 on CS/Free on COS

    The breadsticks are £1.50 in S or £1.36 in T so you could make a few pennies from CS on them

    The rice cakes are 80p in S so again, a few pennies to be made from CS.

    Or the rice cakes/yogurts (but not breadsticks) are in a 4 for £3 deal in T so you could buy 5 different things for £4.36 and get £3.69 back with CS or £3.36 back with COS

    Obviously, even better if you do it as part of an APG shop :cool:

    Edit. You could get 5 hipp organic pouches as fillers. They are 5 for 4 in T but shopmium will refund 4 of them :cool;

    Afternoon everyone. :)

    I didn't want to get up this morning, house all upside down again :( still waiting for the plumber to say he is coming to fix the leak. :sigh:

    And this dreary whether I am a sunshine person.....
  • It is such a dilemma, have you spoke to your provider to see what is the best way to progress in repaying extra money.

    I am not sure what you could do for extra money... please try to keep within the law :eek::eek::eek: if a job offers hundreds of pounds an hour it is either illegal or a banker (doing illegal things!!) :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: What about car boot sales?

    With my mortgage/provider, they are a pain to pay extra each month, so I paid a lump sum. I have/had a set amount of what I want to pay extra this year, sadly I have paid one third of this.

    The mortgage bureau that I used sends me letters yearly (normally saying that I still am on the best offer) but the one I got last week said that there are better offers available.... I am a mix of :T and :eek:.

    Current consideration is to get the remaining of the loan on a 10 year repayment or just carry on trying to repay lump sums.

    I am dreaming of being mortgage free.... in about 10 years!

    :D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D



    I'm with NRAm so they just want my money. I can over pay however I much I want and when. I was just thinking about saving interest against mortgage interest etc.
    I looked at moving my mortgage but by the time I pay fees it would have saved about £50 over 6yrs and take away my ability to overpay by as much as I want.
    I have dyslexia, so get used to my spelling and grammar :)

    Mr TS has gone back to work full time. :eek:

    It's going to be a bit different round here I might actually have to cook tea. :rotfl:

    And do a bit of gardening other than just pulling weeds. :eek:
