My journey to a debt free life

That’s an amazing amount saved in one afternoon. 

I also hate making calls!! Has to be fine sometimes though and it’s usually never as bad as it seems.

Well done on your productive afternoon. I hate phoning anywhere, I’d rather send an email that I can review and make sure I’ve said what I need to. Virgin wanted to put up my bill so I phoned them and managed to shave a bit off it. Ideally I’d get rid of the landline and TV part but need to get an aerial put on the roof for the TV first.

Great work, @Onebrokelady. All bills reduction is good, especially at the moment.

And why oh why do we have to hang on that hated phone for so long.  I pancaked one phone trying to talk to the doctors a couple of weeks ago.  So so annoying.

I hate making phone calls too. Email was invented specially for me - plenty of time to think and can be sent at any time of day or night.  
I think that makes it a triple or quadruple victory for you.

I use messenger whenever I can or email. It's much easier than speaking to a person who will try and talk you out of what it is you are trying to do.

No it's never as bad as I think it's going to be and I always feel relieved after and wonder why I didn't do it sooner

 When I first spoke to them they offered me a new package for £55 and said that was the cheapest they had with the tv still included,I just kept repeating myself and saying that's no good I need it to be cheaper than that or I'm going to have to cancel it altogether and go with someone new to get a better deal. When I got through to the people who cancel things he told me I could have a £10 SIM only deal with 02 but it had more free minutes but I just repeated that I don't use my phone much only for texts so I needed it to be cheaper and lo and behold he found me one for £6 which is the same minutes that I've got now but more data and unlimited texts. I so nearly accepted the original offer but I'm glad I persisted 😊

I was up until 2am with loads of money saving ideas going round in my head, I spent a couple of hours reading posts on the Old time money saving boards and now feel like it's a challenge I can do rather than something that is beyond my control

Thanks Sunshine, sadly I thought I felt better when I woke up but as soon as I started getting ready for the day I felt awful again, I'm ok so long as I sit still and don't try to too much 😟
