28 Days Sober
This morning, I was notified that my January phone bill was ready to view, online, and the "extra call charges" have amounted to £36.46.
So, the total bill, due on the 17th, will be £69.74.
This is £155 cheaper than November's whopping bill (£225 is literally a quarter of my monthly wage) Coupled with December's £125 bill, it basically ruined my Christmas.
But again, my fault entirely.
My No1 piece of advice for people who frequently ring the shows, is to download the mobile phone bill app of your network provider.
I would have (most likely) been able to resist calling for a while, if I'd seen that I was running up a bill anywhere close to the £100 mark, let alone £200.
But guess-stimating my call fees is no good. Certainly not when my addict brain is so creative at justifying just one more quick call, after just one more quick call, after just one more quick call...
Trust me, seeing your call charges makes it unignorably real.
I'm very happy at the moment, despite how dramatically this all reads, lol.
But, if there can be a positive to this thread, it's potentially helping others in the same, sinking, boat.
Have a nice day, everyone.
