Not had a computer for a few days so not been about but it has given me chance to get some long needed jobs and sorting out done, still wiating for my laptop to come back from dell :mad: they tried to charge me again, £180 plus VAT:eek: all becasue its not charging....apparently it needed a new motherboard and plastic casing why??? well I'm not paying it but they are fixing the laptop lol;) (mum2one will be proud ) but will have to wait til next week for it to come back.

No money making but one big saving for me;)

Brilliant on the 'money saving':p hope you get your lappy back soon, when mine went to get fixed it was like losing a limb

haha I know the feeling. When mine got sent back I had withdrawal symptoms. :eek:

On the money making front. I just joined paddy power (deposit £10 and get £30 cashback through quidco) well I played all my money like you have to, and then won £16.00. got scared and cashed straight out so I'm up £36.00. :j

Not updated for a while because I've been ill. Not sure I'll make my Dooyoo target, but did manage to make £15 on Ebay, so that's £15 more than I would have. Up to around £7 on Dooyoo, but I did manage to (hand) write a few reviews during my lunch at work last week, so I'll type them up tomorrow and get them posted, every little helps right? All of my January birthdays are now over and the kids all liked their presents, so that was a success. I've only got one birthday next month and Valentines Day, but my BF and I don't buy each other anything, we take it in turn to cook each other a meal. This year, it's his turn.

thanks for the good luck messgaes, off to Dooyoo now to try and increase my balance, just over £3 to go!

Very pround of you!!!! Good for you, the retailers will get away with anything if they can.

If there replacing the motherboard your have to get everything reloaded back on to the computer, went on my main one (that was a newspaper jobbie as well!!), it a nightmare. Glad its sorted though. xx

Thanks hun, fortunately when it went the 1st time I backed up all my files and photo's and have backed everything up ever since, so not going to loose anything, just my favorites. What annoyed me was the fact they say I need a new motherboard, I'm not very techy but can't understand this....as the laptop just didn't get anypower, surley that is the charger lead or the battery?? I know one thing though and that's I will never buy a Dell Again their customer service is appauling, and they had my name wrong and the guy I spoke to could hardly understand what I was saying, I know I have a strong Manc Accent but its not that bad.

The Laptop is well in its warrenty only had it 8 months and this is the 4th time it has had to go back:mad: that is probably why they are trying to charge me again, but I stood my ground lol...true thrifty gifty moaning girl lol:rotfl:
