    Hi Rags

    £360 is not bad for a laptop but yes you might get one in the sales a bit cheaper.
    Glad your Grandad is feeling better, a good laugh is always good medicine. Will he be out in time for xmas?
    Thats a big worry for me now as the day gets closer, that I will be in hospital over xmas or worse still New Year. If it happens it happens though right?

    I think this is the wrong week for moneysaving so I wouldnt worry.

  • hello pipsmum, i feel loved again!!!!!!!!!!!! ha ha ha!

    my grandad wont be out for xmas as he is still on a little oxygen and not eating much. he thinks he will be in for months!! tried to tell him he wont but he wont have it. he has been out of it for 3 weeks and really needs to build his strength up but hates the hospital food, says its horrible. the hospital keep giving him corn flakes with cold milk when he asks for hot milk, (fussy eater) so he misses breakfast. my nan keeps taking him food in so he eats!!

    i am sat here resisting the urge to buy the laptop i have seen! would kick myself forever if i bought it only for them to reduce it next week, patience is a virtue or so im told!!!!:rotfl:

    think i am gonna go hell for leather on my debts after the new year, get everything out of the way so nothing can distract me, just need to find a way to get my fella involved.............
