We're talking 6 hrs of calls a week, That's what, 1500 mins per month?

020 should be covered by mobile included package, if it's infrequent.

It's an 020 number which is 7.95p per min. There is an 0844 number which they say is 'about 10p'.
I have taken their all inclusive package now which includes anytime calls, unlimited broadband and Youview TV package all for £23 a month.
I may still look into a voip solution though in case I'm elsewhere what I need to make these calls

I have to 'upgrade' to a package that is only line rental (for the same price), then take their Evening and Weekends + broadband package (£6.50) then add anytime calls (£5)
You might want to cost up how much the calls will be, and take into account any "favourite number" discounts.
Alternatively how many free minutes do you get on your mobile phone?

Skype
MSN
I've used PowWowNow and I recommended it, "free" but used 0844 numbers which some pence per min

They are still cheaper than elsewhere though. That lot comes to £21 (If I pay a year's line rental up front).
Alternatively, I can take their package that includes all that plus You View and a years subscription to love film for £24 (£50 installation plus 18 month contract)

Talking to my provider though, I can't just pay the £5, I have to take thier broadband as well for another £6.50.
That's £11.50......for another £3, I can have TV too

I might just go for the TalkTalk Youview package which includes free anytime calls. However, a voip solution that I can use over wifi may be a handy parallel solution in case I'm out and about
