    I don't find it easy to watch things on my laptop - screens not big enough to have it far enough away from me for my eyes (I'm far sighted), and the sound on it's pretty naff too :(

    Tried hooking my laptop up to my TV so I can use it as a monitor, but it won't run for more than a few seconds at a time - and I can't get the sound to send over at all, even though I have the cables I was told I'd need !!!

    I just have my ps3 linked to my wireless internet which means we watch all our programmes on the 46" telly i bought a few years ago :) Although i did just watch superscrimpers on the laptop as couldn't get it to work on the tv xx
    DFW since JAN 2009 - 2014 will be the year i finally clear debts :) Just to see which month :))))

    £37 in Mr A but I bought treats! cheesecake, wine, sweets........... as well as lots of flour for baking.
    It was good to see superscrimpers focus on a more normal family, what I mean is a family that were not earning huge amounts of money but could still find ways to save.
