    Thanks MMW2B , I just feel I've been a single mum with all my girls until I met OH 5 yrs ago now I want to spend time just me and him. He works all week and sometimes Saturdays so I want to make the most of it. Xx
    He spends a few hours with my kids on a weekend when I go to sort my horse out,sometimes if I go out riding he has them longer,and he moans he's had to look after them for X amount of time while I've been out. Big deal- he doesn't moan when we have his 2 tho. Ggggrrrrrrrr MEN

    Similar problem for me glitterfairy. I used to be a cover store manager in car hire and I arrived to cover a large airport one morning and someone said oh this car has been inactive 7 days and we don't know where it was .. I immediately had my suspicions so I checked the paper trail for the car and it definitely hadn't internally transferred and the envelope for the key wasn't stores so we hadn't given the car out .. Car was not on site anywhere so I reviewed cctv and saw the thieving toe rag do away with the car so called the police.

    They found the culpit after recovering the car three months later with false plates on and called me to court as a witness because police Scotland MAKE you attend you don't have a choice.

    The court date was set so I made the arrangements .. Set off at 6am to get there 7am on the way to court I had my car crash but the letter specifically said you must attend so I carried on the rest of the 3 hour journey in my ruined car with a severe headache blubbing away .. Got to court sat down in the holding room .. To be told 10 minutes later the toe rag hadn't attended so drove 3 hours back home and went to the hospital.

    2 weeks ago I got another court summons for the same case the day I go on holiday (I fly at 1400 and the case States at 1100 - we always like to get the the airport 2/3 hours before so I can't attend court and we booked ages ago) police Scotland have made me send them holiday confirmation and said they'd get back to me with a decision!!!

    They can seriously give their heads a serious wobble if they think they're telling me I can't go on a preplanned holiday which is the only light at the end of the tunnel after the car crash.. I even told them im not for to attend court and that I have a sick note for pts, rta spinal injury and an entrapped nerve and they didn't seem to care. We sent the documents via email last week and still no decision. Not happy!!

    I am sooo hungry, think my stomach is eating itself! Roll on 1pm, meeting my mum at $ubw@y today! Know I should be good and have a salad but I really don't fancy it, especially not in this miserable weather. I've more than enough naughty days recently but I am really craving a good ol' meatball marinara!

    They should be able to lower it Sarah, definitely worth asking. We're on a 10% $ky TV deal at the moment, they quite often send me emails with money saving initiatives, although by taking them out they extend your contract.

    $ubw@y was yummy but still hungry! Could have demolished a foot long, 6 inch not enough!!

    Afternoon,

    Thankfully my cheque arrived so popped out to put it in the bank, it was more than originally said so they must have refunded me stuff since I originally called.

    Tried to rain earlier, now it is really black and looks set to pour down.

    Today is the first day I never bothered with pain killers. I know about it now that's for sure.

    Wow I'd like 50% off my $ky bill too! Knowing my luck though I'd threaten to leave and they wouldn't offer me anything haha then I'd have to pay the early termination fee!!

    That is ridiculous Sarah! They obviously don't need to charge you that much either if they can so happily reduce the cost for loads of customers whenever they are asked to.

    We got a letter a few months back advising prices for sports was slightly increasing because they'd secured some new games for 2016... we're not even there yet, how can they start charging for them so far in advance?!

    How much is the sports and movie package?

    We pay 49.48 for tv broadband and phone but only really basic channels: I got them to agree to add free caller display to our phone and withheld number block because everyday for the two years weve had our number we get calls for the people who had the number before us- annoying but not had any today now they've added that for me :D

    I've just logged into my account to double check, we actually currently pay £58 for tv, phone and broadband. We normally buy a few movies each month though so adds up to slightly more.

    The original package with sports and movies on top is £42 but that's including discounts, not sure what the standard price is. We've got free unlimited broadband at the moment and the line rental is £16.40 xx

    Think I'll give them a call tomorrow. Ours is about £74 a month and they only extra channel we have is sports 1 the rest is basic. That's line rental and broadband too but still dear.

    N3xt has a sale starting this weekend. Has anyone got a VIP slot? I haven't heard anything prob cause I haven't ordered off a sale in a while. Think I'll go to the shop sat as LO needs bits. It's a good drive away though would have preferred online

    I keep threatening v1rg1n that I'm going to move to $ky because our broadband quite often drops and they keep saying its 'unexpected technical issues' and when I sometimes work from home this can be a nightmare! But oh keeps moaning telling me not to because $ky is worse !? Think he talks rubbish!
