    Will do its a little Dell one great condition - it comes with the charger and I will throw in a little padded pouch for it. I can't list it until I get back to London at the weekend as I've left it in London. It runs on Ubuntu (google it :D). Great little book - no longer needed due to the recent purchase of the iPad:D.

    I'm listing it as an auction but I'll send you the item number - might consider a little buy it now for a fellower MSE'r if its what you are looking for ;).

    Since 10th February I have managed to save a grand total of £769.72 into our little savings account. This is all going towards our Oz flights :D.

    If we could sustain this we could be heading for £4k which would pay our flights, and hopefully our deposit for a long term Aussie rental. The deposit for our Oz "holiday" rental for our first 10 weeks will be paid out of our current account. Doing well ;).

    All this whilst paying out a small fortune last month to finish the attic, (around £800 including carpet, painting and materials inc. plasterboard and radiator), as well as around £150 shelled out for Cole's Communion e.g. kilt hire, food from M&S for guests. Oh yes and the ipad plus birthday stuff this month - that could have been another £1k in the pot - OMG it could have paid for our flights!!!!!

    Let's see what the rest of March brings :D.
