    Nothing wrong with going for a beer wit friends,but £100?! You can't really afford to do this on a regular basis. Maybe have a night out with them once a month for the time being?

  • Hi Itm, Thanks, I am with T-Mobile, its a too high tariff and I dont use all the mins I am entitled to. I can change it from June, I'm thinking I might get a payg to keep the number and use my works phone.

    I go out with friends at the most once a month, it's rare to go to the pub and not spend £30, add that to cricket, football and maybe a night at the cinema its £100. Point taken about not being able to afford it, prehaps I just have to decide whats most important to me and cut it in half.

    Thanks for looking and your comments.

    I know what you mean about spending £30 down the boozer. My mate has asked me to go out for a beer & i'm still trying to think of an excuse not to go! Spent quite a bit last week on going for a family meal & a few beers & just can't do it week in week out anymore. We all have to leave a little aside to have a bit of a life,but just have to accept that we can't do things that we want to as regularly as we'd like to. All the best.
