PAYG ?

Where can I get a PAYG sim on the O2 network ( the only one that works where I live ) for my back up work phone that doesn't steal all my credit after a month ?

I don't know why any payg would steal all your credit after a month, however most networks require you either topup every 3/6 months or at least make a chargeable call.
O2 classic pay as you go sims are still being sold on ebay but are not available through o2 now, or there is giffgaff.
Current o2 sim offers have a tendency to assume you wish to buy a 'rocket pack' rather than straight topups, which I presume is what you mean.
Tesco also run on o2 and offer 'triple credit' where your topup is tripled for a month then two thirds of it evaporates if not used at the end of the month. Tesco Lite tariff could be a good option but again they assume you want triple credit (even with the credit tripled lite is still cheaper for calls).
You need to register a sim and then switch to the tariff (best do that before topping up/buying anything.)

I need a SIM as a backup that will just have credit on it when I need it, 1p mobile worked for that but I'm now out of their coverage zone.
