IA: Three doesn't do PAYG plans for the iPhone 4.

UP: I (somehow) qualified for a 12 month contract with them, so it's the same price but I get 3x the minutes. And, in theory, more evidence on my credit report that I'm a good person. :)

UP: Had a lovely day out with this boy that I've been "quasi-dating" (we've cautiously expressed interest in it, but have yet to do anything non-platonic).

IA: Still have made no progress towards more-than-quasi dating. ;)

Three and Vodafone have the laxest credit checks, particularly three. I actually have a sneaking suspicion they don't credit check but do a very lax "if you exist" check, they weren't on the list of Equifax companies when I worked in Banking although that was years ago and things may have changed. When I signed up for three last year I didn't get a ping on my credit report to say I'd been checked for credit though and my shiny new iphone 4 turned up :D

I have no advice (that is suitable for other people to read)! But we should do triple bowling dating soooooon!  :)

That sounds fun! :)

Boo if Three isn't going to bother telling anyone that I'm cool and pay my bill on time. Ah well, at least Lloyds TSB likes me.

Awww! Now that's not true :) Sometimes persistance pays off with banks as their training of tellers is absolutely shocking!

Yeah but I've been too irritated about it to try again. :P I'll go to Lloyds over Easter break and see what they have to say...

IA My hair is falling out
UP As a result of losing 65+ lbs in 3.5 months.

I really do love my hair though. *sigh* I guess it's nothing I haven't done before.

IA: Sore throat still not better, so I went to the GP today.

UP: I waited long enough (more than 4 days) so she could say that it's almost definitely not viral and got some antibiotics.

It will be worth it in the end..mine grew back and then when I did the big push to lose the rest of my weight it fell out again...

This will make ya laugh..was cleaning behind the bed and found a mound of hair and screamed as I thought it was a mouse..but it was just the hair that had fell out and slowly accumulated behind the bed....LOL  ::)

Couldn't help it...gastric bypass....it is one of the casualties of surgery. I researched it before surgery and 99.9% of patients develop it...

yah, not too helpful, I'm not doing anything "wrong"  ;)

It's a known symptom and one I was well aware of, you just sort of hope that you're not going to get it, but it's absolutely worth it, just annoying to see clumps of hair around the house.

To be honest, the hair lost is possibly the worst thing that's happened to me as a result of the surgery so I count myself as really lucky  ;D
