How to Half your mobile phone bill.
Every year, I phone my mobile phone provider to enquire about an upgrade - which I have no intention in taking as I'd rather get £100 on my account. I usually ask for an expensive model which is being offered to "New" customers, and they always reply, "that's not on offer for upgrade". I say I'll go and have a think about it.
Few days later, phone again and say I'd like to end my contract as well, I'm not happy about the restriction of new handsets and another provider is giving much better deals and I think it's disgusting that there is no provision for customer loyalty and I can get get it much cheaper elsewhere.
This is the crunch time, I get my contract price halved and £100 credit on my account.
My mobile effectively costs me £20 a year, and they thank me for this.
Aiming to eventually get them to pay me for using my mobile.

Love thy family
We were having a family holiday at my sister's house, her house was always chaos and at best, a bit of a tip.
Me and my mum took over the kitchen for the duration and tried to clean and tidy up. During this time, we were making a lovely Sunday dinner, roast chicken and all the trimmings from about 12 people. I was tasked with making the mashed potatoes, and as a special treat, I decided to put some butter in them. As I stirred the potatoes round, I commented on what a pretty "cat" motif was on the strange looking spoon I'd picked up from the draining board.
The table was set, everyone was sitting down and tucking in like fucking vultures while me and mum ran back and forth from the kitchen to table like a pair of skivvies.
It was then my mum picked up my new favourate spoon and said "your sister is a fucking clat, I told her not to leave that spoon there after feeding the cat". We both looked at each other and knew exactly what had happened.
We never said a word, and never had any "special" mashed potatoes...and grinned a little as we cleared up after them all. Lazy bastards.
(Would it come as a surprise that I work in IT, we don't do guilt coz we are born evil bastards)
