| Randi where abouts are you located? ↑ |
| Name: Randi | Date: Feb 26th, 2007 6:09 PM |
| I am from BC, but I moved to about 2 hours out of Calgary last year. I am 16 hours away from my family so I call a lot. ↑ |
| Name: winnmom | Date: Feb 26th, 2007 6:09 PM |
| Yes I use a lot of long distance too. ↑ |
| Name: hdc_momof2 | Date: Feb 26th, 2007 6:13 PM |
the phone company that we have charges us just under $100 a month for local and high speed dsl
and we usually make about $10 of long distance calls since our family is all long distance. but that is included in the payment above. i think they are robbing us! b/c our internet connection is only $45 a month! ↑ |
| Name: hdc_momof2 | Date: Feb 26th, 2007 6:14 PM |
| maybe $50 but no more than that...that's at least $40 for just local service!!!!! ↑ |
| Name: Randi | Date: Feb 26th, 2007 6:16 PM |
| Internet was included in my $60 a month I think, but when we bought our new place we had to cancel it. I live about 15 minutes out of the city and there is olny dial up out here. SO we have Satellite internet now. And that is 45 a month. ↑ |

| Do you have any calling features Heather? Like caller id? They charge 5-10 for each one unless you bundle them sometimes. ↑ |
| Name: hdc_momof2 | Date: Feb 26th, 2007 6:21 PM |
all of our bills tally around $1600 a month
my hubby brings in 275 a week...if he gets all of the overtime he can
and i recieve $600 a month for disability
that's $1700 a month combined
wich leaves us $100 extra each month
well....that was a depressing thought! ↑ |
| Name: hdc_momof2 | Date: Feb 26th, 2007 6:22 PM |
| we do have that b/c it was cheaper to ge the bundle package ↑ |
| Name: winnmom | Date: Feb 26th, 2007 6:23 PM |
well my telus bill is usually close to 150.00 a month
long distance
internet
calling features......
I feel this is robbery. ↑ |

| Tell your hubby to move to Alberta Canada and start welding lol. We moved out here last year from BC. It's not nearly as beautiful as where I'm from, but we were able to buy our house and live comfortably. I am 21 and he is 26, so it's nice to have the security. Plus I just had a baby. Do you get any money for your kids? Here we get a child tax benefit and a child care benefit. ↑ |
| Name: winnmom | Date: Feb 26th, 2007 6:26 PM |
| oh my goodness.......I think now I would be very embarrased to type in what our monthly expenses are.......they are outrageous.....really!!!!!! ↑ |
| Name: Randi | Date: Feb 26th, 2007 6:27 PM |
| I agree winn. I think Telus is the worst. Although my natural gas bill is about $200 a month. We have to keep the place a little warmer with a new baby. And with my Epcor (electric) they charge us $30 right off the bat for distribution b/c we live so far away. It's not fair. ↑ |
| Name: hdc_momof2 | Date: Feb 26th, 2007 6:27 PM |
well we would get money for the kids but.......
h&r block screwed us last year and the year b/4 so now we OWE the IRS around $5000.00!!!!! there's another bill for the pile that just keeps growing lmao ↑ |
| Name: hdc_momof2 | Date: Feb 26th, 2007 6:28 PM |

| Name: Randi | Date: Feb 26th, 2007 6:29 PM |
| Wow. That does suck Heather. I guess I am lucky, my mother in law works for H&R Block and does all of our taxes lol. You have to get someone on the inside haha. ↑ |

| Yeah the gas is brutal! You are very fortunate. It flucuates every month, so we never know what we are going to be hit with. Thankfully it has been a mild winter. ↑ |
| Name: winnmom | Date: Feb 26th, 2007 6:33 PM |
| Yes H&R screwd up my taxes so badly.....I owed tons to revenue Canada years back now.....I will NEVER ever use them again! ↑ |

The cost of living in Beautiful British columbia is absolutely rediculas!!!!!! but no I would not leave....I guess that is why it is so high........people are willing to pay it........
Our Mortgage alone for living in this beautiful province is so flippin rediculas! ↑ |
| Name: hdc_momof2 | Date: Feb 26th, 2007 6:37 PM |
we have had a descent winter too but this past month it got really really cold
hence the reason for the high electric bill
and to top it off...the landlord got ticked off when we told him we couldn' pay it til next weekend! i mean come on!!! like we REALLY have that much cash to just hand over! not due unil the 10th anyway! it wouldn't kill him to be nice and say it's ok i understand...just wait til nex weekend when you get your ssi check....ohhhh nooooo he has to be a total ass! and act like it's gonna cost him a fortune to wait a friggin week! but what gets me is that it's not over due until he friggin 10th! GGGRRRR ↑ |
| Name: winnmom | Date: Feb 26th, 2007 6:45 PM |
hdc,
If it is not due until the 10th, and you are paying it before then....do not even worry about it :) ↑ |
| Name: hdc_momof2 | Date: Feb 26th, 2007 6:49 PM |
i wouldn't worry about it if our landlord wasn't such a jerk about it
i don't think he understands the term "insufficient funds" lol
i guess i'm not really worried about it...more like just plain stressed out over it. i mean the bills keep stacking up and the funds to pay with just keeps getting lower and lower
i just wish everything would kinda fall into place and we wouldn't have to worry it anymore
i know....keep dreaming lol ↑ |
| Name: Randi | Date: Feb 26th, 2007 6:59 PM |
