Changing mobile network

Several months ago I thought I'd change my mobile network to see if I can save a bit of money.

I was on Vodafone paying £35 per month. I think I had unlimited calls and texts and 500mbs of internet. Well my husband gave me his old phone which is still in good condition and works well so I decided to go for a sim only contract with GiffGaff. I'm now paying £10 per month for 500 minutes of calls, unlimited texts and 1gb of internet usage.

I change to GiffGaff in December and so I have worked out I have saved £200! I'm amazed as I am no worse off with the package I have. I do have less calls but I never use up my allowance or even get close. I also never phone out from my house phone in an attempt to use more of my free calls.

I have a reveral link below to send off for a free GiffGaff sim card. If you go through my link you get an extra £5 credit for free when you register!

Couch to 5K


Its an NHS podcast that coaches you to be able to run 5k in 9 weeks.

I started this a while ago with my sister and going from hardly being able to run we have just completed a 20 minute run with out stopping! I'm so proud of us :D

We have just finished week 5 (you should do 3 runs a week) so 3 more to go!

What makes it a bit more difficult is that 2 days a week we take H in his buggy so we take turns pushing him! He seems to enjoy it lol

I'm trying to loose the last half a stone to get back from my pre pregnancy weight and this is really helping. i'm loosing around half a lb a week so that's pretty good)

If you want to do it too here is a link to the NHS C25K page: http://www.nhs.uk/Livewell/c25k/Pages/couch-to-5k.aspx
