  • Didn't realise that games could escalate so much money. Does he play live through the Internet ?

    Yes, but this is so he can buy points in the game. I can see how easily people run up huge bills :(

    Did you give your DS your card details or did he take them? I am not surprised you are cross. I would be furious and would be selling the console rather than just confiscating it. Didn't he also run up a huge phone bill on his or your mobile earlier on this year? It must be very disheartening to have to cope with an unnecessary bill of that magnitude.

    Oh dear, sorry you've got another bill to pay. I don't really understand how it works but is there not some sort of pin number that needs putting in? Or parental control setting? I haven't a clue but it seems too easy to spend a lot of money :(

    Fingers crossed for this new job :)

  • Monday today, where does the weekend go?

    Managed to get Stardrops in my eye yesterday, got it out and it irritated a lot, woke this morning to my lashes stuck together and looking like I've beaten myself up.

    Checked bank account, two payments have come out. Need to check today, what's due to come out this week so I can move money about.

    DH's pay day this week :j and then he's off for a week.

    Kids finish school tomorrow, DD has a Yr 6 party tonight.

    Hopefully I'll hear this week from the company.

  • Aw, can't believe you DS racked up a big bill like that. How annoying but so easily done.
