    Possibly contents insurance

  • Hi I've just had a look at my direct debits and I think you've got everything covered there other than any personal expenses of course like mobile bills etc

    Anyone bought a laptop recently? :think:

    My monitor is on its way out and was gonna buy one for when I moved anyway! I just hate the thought of spending money! :rotfl:

    1. Expenses - think you have it covered........

    2. Laptop, did I see one on Grabbit for £299 which everuyone thought was a bargain (prob gone now)

    3. House move. Understand your thinking - round here prices are static but the market is not moving . Depends on whether they shot up ridiculously high in the last boom in your area.

    4. I'm sure you have already looked behind the sofa for that last £56...

    Might be some bargains at auctions - apparently there were here last week. (Don't buy at an auction without taking serious advice)
