New shiny things

by Phil Long

I have bought a car. A 1996 Polo 1.9 Diesel CL (3 Door) in Metallic Black. £640 and I’m collecting it tomorrow.

Now, I HAD budgeted £2k for a car… plus insurance. I’ve obviously fallen short of that. I was also on holiday with family last week, and I was pretty much convinced by my bro that I needed a MacBook Pro. Erm, so I’ve bought one. A refurb 15.4″ 2.2GHz Core 2 Duo with 2GB ram, 120GB HDD and 8600M with 128MB RAM. For £1100 - so a bargain. I have one last extravagance left now - the iPhone and then all money = savings for house deposit.

No doubt I’ll get some comments from my mum when she reads this blog. :p
