Ubuntu 14.04 LTS

Every time I reboot I get a notification that there are updates available and do I want to install it. How can I get rid of this without installing the updates? I have set all checks for updates to “Never” in Software & Updates, and I have set Package upgrade behaviour to “Always prefer the installed version” in Synaptic, but the notification keeps coming up. I do not want to install the updates for two reasons: 1) I cannot afford a ridiculous 400Mb download, and 2) I prefer to stick with what I am used to rather than having to relearn how to use the software every time some developer gets a bee in his bonnet and changes everything.
