My son can have £10 of credit last him a month or six weeks whereas my daughter can use £10 of credit in about an hour and a half.Stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13288297695888300416noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11942752.post-1119642706215223372005-06-24T20:51:00.000+01:002005-06-24T20:51:00.000+01:00What a story and how painful to deal with those bi...What a story and how painful to deal with those bills. It's really sad when the kids don't listen and then go and incur such a bill again. You are right to have done what you have - what choice do you have. And it was good you gave her a chance by talking it through. I can't work out yet how old your daughter is but can I say it does get better, eventually, although we still get the money demands!<BR/><BR/>Thanks for visiting my blog the other day :-) <BR/><BR/>I shall blogmark you and look forward to coming back again!Dorishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14073379610501763461noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11942752.post-1119626068235516762005-06-24T16:14:00.000+01:002005-06-24T16:14:00.000+01:00I'd have to agree that until she gets a job and kn...I'd have to agree that until she gets a job and knows what its like to work for the money and make it stretch, she just won't get it.<BR/><BR/>I suggest making her sit down with you when you pay bills for a while. Maybe get her to try to balance on a calculator beside you.<BR/><BR/>Watching my mom helped me, maybe it will help you and her too!gabbihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01187072526723415377noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11942752.post-1119602296819726612005-06-24T09:38:00.000+01:002005-06-24T09:38:00.000+01:00We did try but due to the shape of the street we c...We did try but due to the shape of the street we could only just about make out each other's bedroom window by hanging precariously out of our own.<BR/><BR/>Wouldn't the smart thing have been to just walk the 100 yards down the road and knock the other's door? But no we were teenagers!Red Mumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02471648634218431820noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11942752.post-1119562873109722602005-06-23T22:41:00.000+01:002005-06-23T22:41:00.000+01:00I laughed at the bit about you and your pal who li...I laughed at the bit about you and your pal who lived 7 doors away. Wouldn't it have been a better idea if you two had just devised another method of communication...such as light signals for example?

I never really appreciated how expensive things were until I moved out at 19.<BR/><BR/>Good choice on the new phone, though. Sounds like it is saving you some headaches.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
