My saga is almost at an end.
I wanted phone, tv and broadband with an additional box.
My supplier Virgin Media for telephone and broadband quoted over £100 for this, PLUS line rental. They reduced by £20 when I said I would leave. Did not accept the deal and cancelled :eek: . Went to BT(also requested my telephone number to go with me), only one box and slower broadband for £60+ a month.

Then yesterday virgin called, long story short, 18 months at £65 all inclusive of line rental, Full House Bundle, two V6 boxes. About half of their first quote. Lesson to be learnt, do not be afraid to cancel.

So about £3.61 a month? :beer: (edit: OOops, I think you might mean a month)
I cancelled mine (BB only) and waiting for the call back to see what they offer. I would have been happy with a £10 a month reduction, but think I might hold out for more now

There is something to be said for positive thinking, and if this helps her get through the treatment it might be money well spent. NOT that I agree with it, but she obviously does.

Very true. I know a girl who swore by crystals when she was having chemo. She used to get ill for days, then her sickness almost went to being next to nothing once she had seen a crystal healer. She wasnt the sort of person that would have seen a crystal person before this. The mind is an amazing tool.

I put half a teaspoon and a big pinch of ginger into my smoothies - it takes some getting used to but turmuric is extensively used in India for its preventative and restorative powers so I am persisting
Sainsbobs sell it in ethnic section in plastic bags

I did research and listened to tips from people and ended up giving Alan organic turmeric and Manuka Honey. Don't know if it made any difference but it felt like I was doing something

Looks like a struggle to get a decent act out of tomorrows line up, should have put some of the talent from tonight into tomorrows show.

Lovely, well done you too. The pampers wipes were still 1.69 a pack even on the last day, I don't know what they did with the stuff which wasn't cleared, guessing it went to other stores.

The store by me said they were only clearing their own Co-op branded stuff, plus 'certain other' branded lines (which I took as meaning any items that McColl don't stock because it all seemed a bit random.)
