Midlife Musings and Measurable Goals

Good to see you back online at the moment . 

Horses for courses when it comes to broadband / phones etc 🐴
The only thing I could say here, is my own experience . 

Since moving , I chose Vodafone for both broadband and phone . Depending on usage it varies, but I pay around £38 pm. This includes picture sending and one competition I recently entered on a monthly basis ( so it could be a little cheaper ) . With Vodafone they already knew how many GB I was using etc and asked what I use phone for generally ( I e watching you tube or similar ) . 

I would imagine that the other providers ask you the same questions and then help you decide .
What may be an idea, is to find out what broadband is used in the place you move into 
Then again , you may want to keep phone and broadband with different providers 
I'll leave it there ..📱

Good news on the weight loss.

I'm on giff gaff.  They suit me down to the ground.  No contract and you can switch the plan each month depending on what levels of data you'll need.

Thanks you @savingholmes and @Mrs_Boo_Boo

Thank you @MovingForwards and @another_casualty You have both made me think about services going forward re BB. Your comments were helpful.

I will go g1ffgaff as @Jwil and @mark55man mention and stick to monthly until I am more settled and know who the BB provider will be in the new area.

Thank you @beanielou I'm really pleased about the steady weight loss

I'm on giff gaff too and never have any issues and change the budget each month as I need. 
Well done on the declutter - think of decluttering your clothes as elevating your style 😁👍

I have a monthly rolling SIM only contract with Plusnet and am in the process of ditching it for a Lebara one, which was the best deal for me on the MSE comparison and should be £3.99 to begin with instead of £9.  Unlimited calls and texts, 8 GB data which is actually waaaayy more than I need now I'm not going anywhere to use it as a satnav. 

Do check which network they actually work with though - eg Lebara use Vodafone which I have been ok with elsewhere, Plusnet I think use O2 and the reception was so bad at the old house I had nothing to lose by changing. 

I wouldn't buy on contract again unless it was a truly awesome deal as I don't like being tied into long term deals and they all seem to be 24 months now (quite apart from it being cheaper overall to buy SIM free even if on a 0% CC).

Glad things are coming together
