Shopping Tips
Don't spend five pounds to dry clean a shirt. Donate it to the charity shop instead. They'll clean it and put it on a hanger. Next morning buy it back for two pounds.

    I got the exact same deal through Mobileshop 2 months ago. Only catch is that you have to send them a copy of the 6th and 12th bills with a cashback voucher (and hope they don't go out of business in the next 12 months)

    You also have to remember to cancel the insurance some time during the free 3 months (just took an email) and don't sign up for the itemised billing at £1 extra a month (it's still itemised on the online bill just not the paper one)

    Other than that it should be fine - I sold the phone on eBay for £72 because I prefer my existing Siemens S55 and got £25 cashback by going through Quidco (don't know how much linemypocket pay?)

    good luck! :beer:
