Hi Pap,
I have read all your diaries but have never posted on one of your threads until now.
I just wanted to say well done for staying debt free and thank you for being an inspiration.
I look forward to reading your future posts.

Oh Hi Palema. Thanks ever so for your encouraging words :A Thanks for reading all my ups and downs :rotfl: Look forward to reading all your posts

Ok this is bad really bad... I dont think I ever posted it here but on a discussion I had with cafc girl ages ago I mentioned this and this improvement today is so bad. So what is it... well since I saw them released I have wanted an eee pc, they are like so cool. Now I am dfw and I didnt need a laptop did I so before I came back to this website all positive etc I promised myself that I would save to buy one. Well I havent planned it into 2009. So I hear you ask whats the improvement today ~ well they only have them in the new argos catalouge :eek: Now what do I do, do I be naughty and get it on 0% for 6 months or save... If I get it on 0% it will be £44 a month. Now considering I have £98 'spare' acording to tax anyways..
Any opinions?0 -
Hee hee you are a naughty girl Pap.
Try reading the book I'm reading, "A year without shopping", yikes, I couldn't even do a week.
lol, go for it.

Lol binne ~ you twisted my arm ~ didnt take much though
But I dont see a problem with it, if someone else does hey ho, its not like my savings wont cover it if the worse happens. So I went through quidco so will get 1.5% cashback. However you know when the web page takes forever to load, well thats what happened and then it said we cant give a conformation number just yet but you will receieve it in an email shortly :rolleyes: Anyways it 'should' be here on tuesday... then my brother can set it up wireless' for me so I wont be chained to this computer all day.
Its Ironic really because I was reading some of my first ever posts on here and do you know how I became debt free. I sold my new laptop on ebay that I recieved as a gift for passing college from my mum... Its like I have gone in a full circle :rotfl:0 -

Hey Pap
I looked at the eee PC and it is so cute! I was thinking about getting a netbook but my mum works for a stationary company and they were selling laptops for under £200 so I went for that instead. It means now that my dad and I aren't fighting over acess to the PC!
I would go for it especially as it is small and compact you'll be able to take it anywhere! Plus paying it up over 6 months at 0% is a great deal.

Hee hee that is so funy Pap, selling your laptop to pay off your debts, now buying another :rotfl: :rotfl: , Sorry for laughing, but it made me giggle.
Oh well as long as it makes you happy and you deserve it.
Me and hubbie have a laptop each and sit on either ends of the settee with them on our knees and sometimes a tartan blanket when we get cold. We look like Mr & Mrs Nerd0 -
Palema, I know, it looks so much cuter in real life. I saw them in comet before xmas and I was so tempted :rotfl: Oh no more fights ~ sounds good. I just want something I can take downstairs and still be online, because at themoment I am stuck at this pc 24/7 and its annoying when I want to spend time with mum.
Binnie, I know I had to laugh too but hey at leat this one wont mean i am in 'debt'. Can wait to get it, they will email me when they have stock so hopefully it wont be long. :rotfl: at you two on the sofa, I do hope I get like that some day0 -
My little sister as one of those eee pc's pap, they're fab, very cute too
