Jaaakkkeee Posted October 16, 2012 Report Share Posted October 16, 2012 £250? Fuck that shit. How long have you been going out with her?Coming up to 4 years. Our first real christmas together, after a year of going out, she got me a £200 acoustic bass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paranoid Android Posted October 16, 2012 Report Share Posted October 16, 2012 Tell me why it is that you do not watch Modern Family and explain to me that if you have seen a handful of episodes why your opinion of it is not great?Now.I've seen a couple of episodes. I didn't find them funny or any of the characters particularly interesting and I just generally didn't feel any urge to carry on watching any more.

I mean that in the nicest way possible, 'cause I think the show is great. If you're ever at a loose end I urge you to give it another go. Season 4 is showing at the moment and the first few episodes have made me laugh more than anything else in a long time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keeno Posted October 16, 2012 Report Share Posted October 16, 2012 Has anyone suggested a credit card? They usually give you 6 or 9 months interest free on your balance and if you haven't paid it up you can just transfer it to another company who will give you more interest free periods on balance transfer.Not something I would personally do as I hate to be spending money I don't physically have, but I will be getting a credit card sooner or later for buying a holiday. At least they give you better protection when booking flights etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paranoid Android Posted October 16, 2012 Report Share Posted October 16, 2012 I may do sometime. You're not the first person to recommend it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paranoid Android Posted October 16, 2012 Report Share Posted October 16, 2012 Credit Cards are such tempting little bastards to have around though. I used to be very good with money. But my credit card bill is in a bit of a state right now. Paying it off is my main task for the next few months. Thankfully I have no gf to out do, so wont spend too much at christmas.

Skacel Posted October 16, 2012 Report Share Posted October 16, 2012 I would have thought a credit card was a necessity in this day and age. I put everything on my credit card and try and clear the balance each month. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skubbs Posted October 16, 2012 Report Share Posted October 16, 2012 re. Catalogues: There is Littlewoods, I think Very is their version for those with better credit ratings. All of the stuff is overpriced though, by at least £20. I used Littlewoods for getting some bits and bobs for my old flat, and to be honest would have been better just saving up and buying the stuff as you do pay over the odds.And outdo your girlfriend with present thoughtfulness instead of just buying expensive crap.I'm making jam and shortbread this year as my "stocking fillers" and everyone seems to love this idea as it's a bit more effort than just going to Sainsburys and buying packaged shite.

Spoonie Posted October 16, 2012 Report Share Posted October 16, 2012 I'm engaged and we've been together for eight and a half years. We both work full time, in reasonably well paying jobs and we've had a £100 limit on Christmas and birthday presents for years. Cos we're not a pair of wallopers. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No idea what it is/how it works.Edit: Reading the scrollback it looks like some sort of loan?yeah, it's basically getting goods now, but paying the cost off over a period of time, or like a credit card where you get a bill at the end of the month as opposed to a debit card where you can only spend what you have. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
