Now I have to pay the council to collect it. Then my laptop broke down which thankfully was only due to a faulty charger so I managed to get a good deal in the high street.
I end up losing both my contact lenses and have to rely on my glasses which I'm allergic to, to see anything, reading was damn near impossible but I have gotten my new set now which I am being extra careful with.
I really couldn't take any further expenses so realising my phone contract was ending soon I called up early to try and get a good deal.

I'm not sure why but the earlier I call, the nicer more reasonable they seem. I have one of those package deals, phone, broadband, landline so it is much easier to negotiate knowing that I can easily take my business elsewhere.
For once I did not think I was going to get anywhere. I am pretty adapt at bargaining but previous times have failed so I had low expectations.

However this time, luck was on my side. I spoke to a lovely chap taking me through the options and respecting my budget, but he was trying to do a hard sell.
The free phones he offered me seemed quite poor and he lowered my monthly costs but I needed to think about which phone I really wanted as my current Honor cannot handle multi tasking at all.
I googled some reviews, watched a few youtube videos and then narrowed it down to two handsets. Huawei Smart P 2017 or the Moto G6 Play.

I was looking for decent battery life and ram mostly. Would have been nice to have something other than black but that was low priority.
I decided to call back in the afternoon and see if I could still get that great deal which unfortunately was unavailable, the new deal was worse so I declined.

I figured now that a free phone was actually an option I would keep calling back in the morning until I got a reasonable deal.
However an hour later I got a call saying he had spoken to his manager and agreed to offer me the original fantastic deal. I'm not saving a massive amount.

£3 a month overall, an additional £30 of half price line rental for 3 months. I am getting a new phone that I didn't think I would though.
Plus no delivery charges or handset costs and I am thrilled about that. I hope I made the right choice. I went with the Moto.. It's due to arrive tomorrow or Thursday.
Wish me luck.
