    I've got my eye on a laptop on ebay, which I know I shouldn't buy, but hopefully it will finish before I realise and then I won't be able to buy it! It's not in my budget. Dammit, how do I stop myself?

    I was bad in the end and placed a cheeky bid, but i was massively outbid so that's that!

    Still haven't gone to the Post Office so I best shoot there now!

    Ever wonder about those people who spend £2 apiece on those little bottles of Evian water? Try spelling Evian backward.

    It's OH's birthday soon and I want to get him a sat nav. Been doing my research and the more I look, the more the prices go up :eek: :rotfl: ]

    Why spend techno prices when you can get him this postcard:

    and this book:

    and save a load of cash?

    £1.20 in bus fare today - the tenner is smashed to smithereens.

    If you're a big eBayer, DDDK, why not use some of your paypal money towards a laptop? Ebuyer take paypal. We eBayed to pay for ours :) Saves the charges of withdrawing small amounts - Paypal isn't real cash after all! :) x
