The Husband has his talents. Shopping around for the best price on phone bills and utilities isn't one of them. We decided (yes joint decision!) that we'd (see how I take partial responsibility?) been slacking in this department for far too long so I sat the Husband in front of my laptop and set him to work. (I made tea!)
After much Errrming and Ahhhing, he announced the ideal package with Talk Talk (we're currently with Orange).
'Perfect!', said I 'Buy it'
He called Talk Talk. Nice man on other end of phone went through everything, a few hidden costs but still not a bad package, so we swallowed the one-off connection fee.
There is where the problem started. Me? Once decided, I'd have left well alone. The Husband? He carried on searching.
'Orange have a better package!' he states
After 30 minutes of internet searching and phone calls with Orange, we change...back to Orange.
The Husband calls Talk Talk back, 'We have a better deal with Orange' he explains, 'Is it just an introductory special deal though?' question Talk Talk, more Errrms and Ahhhs...The Husband doesn't know.
Back on the phone to Orange. It's not a special deal, it's for the whole term of the contract. Back to Talk Talk. 'It's not a special deal, it's for the whole term of the contract.' He tells them. Wait up...Talk Talk are offering a better deal still...really? Nope false alarm...it only appeared to be a better deal.
'Nope, we're definitely sticking with Orange', he informs Talk Talk to another woman who worries on our behalf that the deal is just an introductory offer.
The Husband furrows his brow 'No, I've been through this, it's not a special deal or an introductory offer, do I have to go through this again? I just don't want it anymore'. She agrees (reluctantly) to cancel the newly agreed contract.
Phew...2 hours but phew.
Today? Husband finds better deal (I wish he'd just stop looking!) with Sky and it includes Sky+
Me: 'We're not having it'
Him: 'Why?'
Me: 'Because you spent 2 hours sorting it out yesterday and it's now sorted'
Him: 'But we're the only ones in the street who don't have Sky'
Me: 'Tough'
Him: 'So that's a No then?'
Me: 'Yep'
Him 'You say No to everything'
(Wife glares)
Me: 'Think puppies, think new posh car, think extension'
Him: 'The extension is yours not mine, you said Yes to You there'
Me: 'I'm letting you stand it in aren't I?'
