I DID IT!! I called and got $35 off my bill every single month, with no loss of any service!! WOO!!! One of the best experiences I’ve ever had with Comcast actually – maybe they’ve updated their game?

Either way, easiest phone call of my life ;) I highly recommend it if your bill is getting outrageous too!

I love talking to them :) sometimes I call them for fun, just to ask how their day is going. They usually respond by giving me free HBO. :D

DID YOU ALL COMPLETE YOUR MISSION?? I WANNA KNOW!

(Spoiler alert — I did not. But I do have a good excuse: I ended up taking on a 20 hour project this weekend which netted me a few thousand dollars ;) So Comcast is back on my list to reach out to again! Probably in the morning.)

@KJJ – Good one! Did you end up doing it?
@Matt, Tao of Unfear – Haha… why don’t you just put it in your pockets? :) I throw my iPhone in one of the back ones when I’m walking around – only gets me in trouble when I forget to take it out when I sit down. Yikes.
@Alicia – That would be nice :) But really only if you come over here and do it for us too, hehe…
@Money – Cuz we hate talking to them! And they’re usually rude :(
@Dannielle @ Odd Cents – Wow, good work! You do it yourself? Or have a friend?
@Brian – Haha, wanna trade?

Fixed the DSL! Service from ATT has been going south for awhile, and have meant to switch. But I realized this morning that they are charging me $42.95 a month for a service that they now sell for $19.95, and that’s not the promo price. So, I guess it’s back to Comcast. At least they haven’t blatantly overcharged me in awhile :)

I fixed my hair… I consider this to be a good thing because it really needed fixing and I did not have to take a trip to the salon and spend $60 to get it done! :)

One of my very first posts was about fixing your cable bill. It’s so easy to do, I do not understand why not many people take advantage of it. I write a step by step process of how I did it here: http://fatmoneypig.com/2011/10/how-to-reduce-your-cable-bill/

Well not sure if we’ll get to it this weekend, but we def have to get a move on with our Wills and Living Trust. Maybe I’ll make that a “by-the-end-of-2011” goal.

One of my goals for the month was to try and start doing food prep ahead of time so mealtimes in the evening weren’t so hectic. So this weekend I would like to wash/chop/thaw my food for the week. Less ambitious compared to some of the other posts, but I won’t dread making dinner quite as much if I know some of the work is already done.

I just put a freeze on my cell phone account because they wouldn’t let me downgrade my plan to a value 200mb/mo data plan, since I’m still on contract. Now, instead of them getting $20 a month, they’re getting $0. And since I’m working from home, I generally have a wifi connection, so it doesn’t affect me much. Sucks that I don’t have a connection while travelling, but there’s usually wifi once I get where I’m going. I might pay to get out of my contract and unlock my phone and switch to a different company, since I can essentially get the same plan that I’ve been on for half the price. My only concern is that the customer service will be worse (customer service with my current company is stellar).

I also need to find someone to sew the pocket back onto my jacket (or go get some thread and attempt to do it myself). I look pretty homely walking around with a pocket falling off of my jacket. Haha.
