  • The things i do in order to get on here..the maddening thing was that i didn't have a computer to price compare either so will have to trust that i bargained them down substantially. Under £300 for a laptop is not bad with these specs in total it was £280 for each of them and a free three year warrenty chucked in and antivirus as well, although i had a good program which i just loaded onto it..and 0% so have to pay that off by feb..booo

  • Wondered where you'd been - thought you must be off galavanting for the weekend ;) That's a bit of a pain having to get a new computer AND a new washing machine.. but good to have you back online (and you won't smell, which is a bonus :rotfl:).

    Alas washing machine is coming tomorrow..so just stand down wind for a couple of days:D :rotfl:

    That IS a conundrum.

    How do you buy a computer, without a computer?

    though it sounds like you did just fine :D
    If it were me, I'd call them Christmas presents for various family members. Mr Bob I know, has been dreaming of his own washing machine :D
  • Hmm olive i was thinking that as well..after all his is a significant amount:D ;)
    Further conundrum, How do you keep pesky teenagers off of new laptop as well:mad: i'm paying for it and they are dow divvying up times!

    Hi ISOM..well fun times soon, as family birthdays etc will ensue..is my little brovs today and we were all supposed to be down in Bath for said celebrations..but didn't happen good job really having to spend out further. Anyway Bob's fridge is looking healthy at the moment (with food) But also with invites for parties on front of it ..so may not be too bad:D
    Hey up Beanie, i was thinking of you when i saw a radley sale on in my local cesspit of a town:cool:

    Right time up must move on as getting glares off teenage son:rotfl: catch you all later:T
