    We had a take away last night :o but hubby was given £10 for looking at a pc for someone. We were bad last week shopping we somehow managed to figure in a £9.99 box of 24 Becks and shopping was still in budget :)

    Well this morning I have had several questions about bongos and a 99p bid on my laptop!

    Morning everyone! :wave:

    I decided that as I haven't been on a holiday for 5 years I would ask my little sis to lend me the money to go away over bank holiday. I thought it would be a big deal, but she was very cool about it! Yay! :T She is an :A .
    Unfortuately it does add to my debts, but when I sell the flat I can pay it back, along with a few other things. In the meantime I've saved £8.85 to pay to pesky Littlewoods!

    Hope you all have a good day saving! :cool:

    Now you see if you lived near me you could have one for free! It could be your graphics card which would be cheaper. But if it pops with smoke it was the monitor - happened to me pooped the life out of me! This week our graphics card went with shuddering, but if I ran the pc in safe mode I got to speak to you all day :D

    Fingers crossed for a cheap alternative!
