Find in Household Bills & Expenses May 5th, 2010 - 3,199 views

Online food shopping is not a new thing but it is most definitely a growth sector with more and more people seeing the benefits. In fact, in January the news predicted online food shopping will double in five years.
Personally I think this is an underestimate because there are so many advantages and once people are [...]

Envirofone or Mazuma Mobile?


Find in Household Bills & Expenses August 28th, 2009 - 4,324 views

What an excellent idea. Recycle your old phones for cash!
I had three of them lying around and I thought I’d see who offered the best deal.
I started with the two most advertised options because I’ve been brainwashed into thinking everything I see on television is true.
But then thanks to Google and competitive advertising I came across [...]

BT Call Plan Offers with 0845 Numbers


Find in Business Costs, Household Bills & Expenses June 3rd, 2009 - 1,536 views

The heading of this post may lead you to think it will be about the various offers and deals available from BT.
But it’s not. It’s about one particular offer seemingly available on BT’s own online Terms and Conditions but peculiarly unobtainable.
BT have a great call plan offer, don’t get me wrong I think it’s great [...]

The Cost of 0800 Numbers from Mobile Phones


Find in Household Bills & Expenses May 11th, 2009 - 6,027 views

What is the point of calling a freephone number if it isn’t free?
0800 numbers have forever and ever been known as freephone numbers that are as the name suggests, free to call.

PIN money’s great isn’t it? That surplus bit of money you have each month you know you could quite happily fritter away on needless expenses, just because you can.

An Expensive Bargain


Find in Household Bills & Expenses August 6th, 2007 - 1,400 views

I recently paid £5 for something I could have bought for £2 but the alternative could have cost as much as £25.
Anyone who uses Nokia mobile phones will know that several months ago Nokia changed the size of the charger adapter plug.
Not so bad because you are usually supplied a new adapter with each new [...]
