Default New Age Disease?

Why is it so??

Does anyone else have a partner/husband who has an irrestisable urge to break all records for the largest monthly phone account?

In the old days, it was apparently a 'female' thing to have the phone attached to her ear as a normal part of their appendage, but I can honestly say that in my household it was my father.

hence, I think I married my dad , as my MM (mere male) cannot resist the urge to make 'just a quick call to...'

I am nearly on name by name basis with telstra's accounts section. Yes, rob, an extension of this months account again!

gawd help us when we retire, I will still be :

In the last year our monthly phone bill has NOT been over $85 that includes the $28 phone line rental, our mobiles are pre paid and $100 lasts about 5 months, and the internet is $55 pre month.

swap fone bills shane3?? lol we have a $1500 internet bill courtesy of telstra (can I say that here??) that we are paying off...long story but sh!t happens, has to be paid.

then our monthly bills are huge, but then we would only spend the dough on the cars and enjoying ourselves :
