Quote: but I also have another £3,000 CC to pay off and this computer (bought on hire purchase for £80 a month
Hi Jo.. That computer sounds a bit expensive.
Two of my customers are Rent to Buy (US term), bought on hire purchase ( british term) stores. I see some of their business printouts. Some computers they were renting to buy cost them $800 to $1,000 and the rental to buy fee was $2,400 to $3,200.
In the US several stores sell "e-Machine" or Dell brand computers and monitors for less than $500. For $700 you can have a newer style flat pannel LCD monitor.
It's outside my rights to suggest you should return the computer but ask you, could your H help you out with a computer he took in on trade or made from parts so your monthly pay out was not so high?
I have a couple computers I bought as part of a lot of used equipment that are good for the internet, wordprocessing, and other common usages applications. If I wanted to, I could add a TV card and watch TV on my monitor. I paid from $100 to $200 for these computers.
Our local Office Depot had a desktop computer 2.8 ghz, 80GB harddrive, DVD palyer, 256 RAM, 56K modem 17" CRT monitor, Windows XP, Microsoft Works software like MS Office, keyboard and mouse for $475.
About your posts; Jo I have been reading your posts. Looks like you are doing things the way they will work for you and congradulate you for being so persistant. Sorry to hear you were sick and had to postponr your family time.
Thanks for posting on my thread. I was posting some of my problems on your thread but felt that was not fair to you. That is why I decided to start a new thread over on SSM. I am not ignoring you in any way.
Eventhough I know I/we have to work on several issues before the EC and sexual connections improve, for me its these two losses that hurt the most sometimes.
