    :hello: Hi everyone,

    Have you room for another newbie?
    I'm not in a position to totally clear a debt but I would like to aim to reduce my cc by £500.

    thanks xx

    Oh - sorry but I don't know what a Gameboy is either.

    At this point I will confess to a portable TV in the loft and a plinky plonk tennis game console which plugs into it.
    I got it for Christmas in 1978
    I was thinking of getting it down at Christmas and thrilling the kids with it!

    I will investigate the DSI that he wants - I assume they're in the region of £120 - that seems to be the usual cost for this type of thing these days.
    Seems I may need to get 3 Argos catalogues!!

    Are there any after costs, add ons etc?

    I suppose this time next year he'll be after a mobile phone

    At least I can understand a car, what it does etc, It serves a useful purpose. I can even drive one.

    I've told DS he can have a car when he's older but it has to be lower than 500cc - I think those cinquicentos are sooo cool if I didn't have 3 children I would have one

    Hi I missed the last one but the first 2 were very helpful in keeping me focused and paying off more than I would have without the challenge.

    Please put me down for £729

    that's the balance of my egg card that has to go before the 0%BT runs out in the new year.

    Thank you for taking over from the very lovely and hardworking PAP
