laptop could not do without & would do same again, even now! Fab week in Newy York (paid for us both!!) was fab & I'll never forger it...just wish I hadnt got that Tiffany ring while hands were hot as it doesnt fit & cant quite bring myself to sell it because it was a lifetimes ambition (silver & £120 before people panic that I went REALLY nuts!!)...I dont regret either but do look at the hole of a ktchen I own & wish I had been wiser with funds generally - most of stuff now sold on ebay or at car boots!Nerd no 109 Long haulers supporters DFW #1!

Hi James
There is no magic formula here just that we have big payments to our debts and we try and overpay when we can afford to. We have a healthy income between us-
OH Salary : £2400
My salary : £1700
child benefit : £163
other oncome variable - overtime/extra shifts/other income £900
Total : £5163 max
We manage to put between £1400 and £2800 onto our debt each month, looking at that figure now I don't know why we can't afford to put more on!Debtfree JUNE 2008 - Thank you MSE:T0 -
I bought a Tapwave (basically a Palm with a nice screen, and you can play games on it) - it cost me 150quid, and I bought it on credit. Was silly of me, but it comes everywhere with me and is totally indispensible.DFW Nerd No. 140

My degree and a fistful of assorted qualifications. I worked really hard, am very proud, and no one can ever take them away from me.
Downside is that I'm over-qualified to do menial work (hence temping) and under-qualified to do what I really want to do!
However, I am remedying this by getting .... more qualifications! Only this time, DFW stylee.:eek: What if the hokey cokey is what it's all about? :eek:Official "Bring back Mark and Lard NOW! or else (please)" Member 160 -
My pc - without with I wouldn't have my PhD & my job.
My mp3 player - drowns out the background noise at home & in the officeStill wish I could buy a TARDIS instead of a house!0 -
tho lots went in to the house etc i don't in any way feel guilty about that, it's all an investment.
however i do feel like my £750 27" lcd hd sexy on a stand samsung was a little heavy on my credit card...especially as it's now hooked up to only my dvd and used as a stereo since i cancelled my sky and tv license less than three months after buying it!
it was partly paid by an insurance claim on my old tv after it met a soggy end on a date with a vase of flowers :eek:0
