  • Thanks for this.

    The holiday I have just come back from so too late to do anything about!
    I know I am spending too much on my phone but I did't get my contract long ago so doubt that I can change it just yet.

    I also know about the present situation- I have a close family who I like buying for and I probably spend too much. They will understand though.

    Thanks again, going to have a look at some of the other boards for ideas now.
