    Thanks you MKS.

    Its the one month one I'm looking at, as I understand it I just need a three PAYG sim and pay the £20 bolt on to get what you've described above? I take it that it won't then connect and run the risk of me billed if I'm somewhere where it doesn't cover (like on a cruise ship in the middle of the ocean somewhere, as this is what I'm worried about?). I just really want it to be able to communicate with kids when I'm in Barcelona and New York, will have to hope for free wi-fi in Portugal and Canada when we stop there as those countries aren't on the feel at home.

    I have a really dumb question, when putting numbers into the new sim, do I input them just as I would normally, or do I have to put them all in as +44 numbers?

    And finally, what is a mi-fi please? I'm not very techie as you can tell! :rotfl:
    What do you usually use in this country LS? Just if you are on contract, I know a lot of the phone companies let you buy an add-on to make calls when overseas. [STRIKE]I know I paid about £2 a month[/STRIKE] free, but can use my inclusive calls and texts [STRIKE]overseas[/STRIKE]only in Europe. May be worth looking into if on a contract.
    Edit: Correcting mistakes.

    this is my world as well
    my OH will leave a wet spoon on a scrubbed clean work surface but won't lob it into the sink for washing up, the tea bag goes next to the kettle even though the green waste bucket is inches away, next to the back door, he empties coal into coal bucket from the sack but half if it is on the floor ...

    I think they will all follow suit....The TSB were offering 5% on their monthly saver, but that went to 2% on 30th June 2016...so if anyone is thinking about locking in for a year, I would say dont hang about.
    Yep, that'll be right!
    Retired yesterday, money not here yet from pension, when it does arrive I bet they have all gone down:eek:
    Always got the timing wrong with anything financial...
    Never mind, I'll have more time to chase glitches and bargains!
