When I posted "Saved the draft", that should really say "Got distracted and went out halfway through typing the post (which had been auto-saved by then), came back on the forum hours later, and noticed that I was mid-post..."

That, sounds a lot more plausible.

Once I start getting my pension next month, I might start buying the odd bond each month

Is there a minimum purchase of £100, or am I imagining I read that?

£25. Just checked.

It did go up I think when it went from £1.00 to £25.00 but I think it will stay at this amount for quite a while.

Yes - I was going to buy £20 worth a week but when I discovered that I changed it to £80 worth per pension day (every 4 weeks).

I'd rather have any spare cash sitting around in PBs than in my Halifax account.

Good day all. Not been on much as I have a problem with my mobile.....it is devouring my data usage. I am trying to find the reason.

Do you listen to radio or watch TV/media on your phone? If yes then check that the relevant apps aren't constantly streaming in the background. Mrs P had this problem and it turned out to be Spotify consuming data by the second without her knowledge.

What's the package name?

 

[PaulSB]

What's this? Dr Alice with orange hair. What is the world coming to?

What's the package name?

No idea, Mrs SD deals with it.

Just asked and she thinks it was about £11 pm which she haggled down ages back and threatens to leave if they try to put it up too much every 2 years.

She says she doesn't think they do the package any more.

Guess we are lucky!
