  • i dont have a credit card - im not sure why they accepted me but i am thinking of cancelling
    i do understand it is a money saving site and i have found many helpful posts especiaaly on the grab it section for all the up to date sales etc for buying the kids clothes etc, however whenever i seem to read a post when somebody is asking a question a lot of people seem to jump down there throats rather than try to help and maybe they are trying to help save money but dont need to be so patronising about it. Thank you for your reply i am now going to request a delete for this post as i now have the answer to my original question although it doesnt really matter as i am thinking of sending back anyway not just down to what has been said on here but thinking about the data i know i will go over cos i use internet most days, not sure what to do as do need a computer but there doesnt seem to be a cheap solution unless you have the cash upfront which isnt an option at the minute

    Pleased to hear you got it sorted out.
    Not much use to you ATM, but Big Pockets often have ex-business laptops for sale at reasonable prices.
    Got myself a Dell a couple of years ago, still going strong all be it the battery life is not very good.
    That gum you like is coming back in style.

    I'm seeing twisted underwear. :)

    Seriously, get rid.

    Even a second hand PC will do you. Can be purchased for as little as £100.
    It's not just about saving money, but also about reading how you got trapped with Virgin and impressing upon you not to get trapped again.

    There were also some good tips on how to get the usage that you need at the best price.

    What did happen to the laptop that you wrote that you bought for £200?

    This thread is not only of use to yourself. There may be others in your situation who may find the advice useful and who wish to act upon it.

    No one is jumping down your throat. Time is of the essence.

    Good luck
