Thanks sea!
To be honest it's not something I do want as such. I've got a perfectly fine PC. However it would be an investment in my career and I'm not sure I can afford not to get it if that makes sense! :undecided0 -
So it will eventually bring n more money than not getting it? No question then! I can understand why you want that £10 k break through as well though - motivating!
Saw you are back on form btw over on freebies

Well it 'should' bring in more money but will definately make my job more secure! :think:
Maybe I will break the £20k barrier before saving up for it! I think I need the boost physcologically! :undecided0 -
Go for it then - if the apple mac can wait, get that boost

And well done for not making smutty remarks about some of the phases I used in my congratulatory post! I only realised after I'd posted what you could make of that!

If I manage to pay off the £900 odd before April 10 it will mean I would have paid off £10k in the last 12 months!
