And I don't save £250 a month.

I think I might be able to start doing that.
I bought something on credit thats costing me £300/month 'till it's paid off, and I'm doing tight-but-alright on it, so I might continue doing that after I've paid it off, or a similar amount anyway. Possibly. Or I might buy somethings else on interest-free credit on a similar basis. I donno.

Better to save it generally. Interest free credit seems great, but in reality you can usually get it cheaper somewhere else by buying straight up.

Depends on what it is, on this case it was a macbook, which is the same price where ever you go.
I was thinking like a super 3D telly with all the gubbins from RIcher Sounds.

It depends, the Active and Smart ones can be really good, but they ain't cheap.

A family sat around with expensive extra glasses
watching movies where they add a few scenes to make it 3D but generally adds little or nothing to storyline, and for that reason I’m out.

The coolest thing I've seen done is with the passive ones you can watch two things at the same time with headphones.
Not worth the money though.

Media Centre

I've asked for a rasbery pi for christmas, so I might use that as a simple media server attached to NAS and my TV.

Ditto, I don't have anything close to that to spend on me this christmas.
She could earn a few bob writing a book / doing a telly show, and giving out tips, this could launch a career for her in that respect.

Selling her story to closer once a year probably gives her a couple of hundred quid.
